A Bookshop of One's Own: How a Group of Women Set Out to Change the World by Jane Cholmeley

adventurous challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I had never heard of Silver Moon before Gays the Word promoted this book on their Instagram (I’ve yet to visit in person). 

I loved the concept because what book lover doesn’t dream of a bookshop of their own. Even better one with such a positive political slant! 
I had to read their story and live vicariously through what they actually accomplished.
It’s a sad ending, all good things must come to an end. But what a mark they made and a legacy they left behind.


Reading this has added a mass of books to my to be read pile, which I always welcome especially from more diverse authors. 

Jane has a wonderful way of writing, and as I listened to her reading on the audiobook it truly felt as though I was hearing all the tales on a personal level.
