Bloomsbury Girls
by Natalie Jenner
Continuing the story of one of the characters we met in the story Natalie Jenner began in "The Jane Austen Society", Evie Stone is now in Cambridge. After a colleague cheats his way into the position she should have received, Evie leaves Cambridge to work at a book shop where she gradually gets involved with the other staff, two of them who are completely underappreciated women. One is having an on-off relationship with the assistant manager. The other is a mother of two struggling with her husband’s untreated PTSD and his increasing violence towards her.
Other store employees are: a young scientist from India who researches and manages the scientific books collection, a wannabe writer, a mostly absent buyer who travels to estate sales for new books, and a former member of the Navy, jealously guarding the history books from anyone’s interference.
There is personal drama, flagging sales which are dealt with handily by the women who change up displays, and start author talks for customers. Naturally, the men are jealous, and after more drama, there are happy endings for the women.
Natalie Jenner succeeds in creating another cozy, warm book that made me happy by the time I got to the end.
