Bloomsbury Girls by Natalie Jenner

5.0

---

Natalie Jenner has another hit on her hands. The Bloomsbury Girls is a much anticipated follow up book to The Jane Austen Society and features Evie Stone and a few other characters from the first book plus several cameos by real historical figures like Daphne Du Maurier and Peggy Guggenheim. Set in 1950s London three young women band together to secretly take over the very male dominated Bloomsbury bookshop. This was a real delight to read. The story was engaging with so many colourful characters, and great dialogue. I could visualize this as a movie - someone call Julian Fellowes!
