lemoney 's review for:
The Last Bookshop in London
by Madeline Martin
For a story set in London during WWII it really had a sweet side to it despite the harrowing surroundings the characters faced with war.
Grace, a young woman who has just lost her mother, moves with her good friend Viv from the countryside to London. They are going yo temporarily stay with a friend of Grace’s mom until they get settled. Grace comes to work at a bookstore owned by a man who is a bit of a curmudgeon. Grace is not a reader and isn’t sure how it will go. When the war seems imminent, things start to change all around. Some go off to war or do their part in helping to end it, friendships are formed, lives are lost, and others become different people as war can often do.
A tender story, one I enjoyed reading.
