With Love from London
by Sarah Jio
This is a case of "Bookstagram Made Me Do It" and I'm so happy it did.
“The thing is, once you get lost in a story, you want to get lost in another. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
WITH LOVE FROM LONDON is told through dual-timelines and points of view. Valentina, the daughter, is amidst a divorce when she inherits her estranged mom's London bookstore, The Book Garden. She hasn't seen or spoken to her Mom, Eloise, since she was 12 yrs old and she quickly learns there is a lot to her that she doesn't know.
This is an emotional, vibrant love letter to bookstores, moms/daughters and second acts. Plus- it's a story of loss and secrets with quirky neighbors, found family, a scavenger hunt and missed opportunities. This book was uplifting yet bittersweet and I loved it!
