Nina Redmond is a librarian with a gift for finding the perfect book for her readers. But can she write her own happy-ever-after?
Nina Redmond is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion… and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more.
Determined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile - a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling.
From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there's plenty of adventure, magic, and soul in a place that's beginning to feel like home… a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.
"A charming, bracingly fresh happily-ever-after tale with playful nods to the Outlander series." - Kirkus
"Colgan's latest shares many themes with her popular Little Beach Street Bakery (2015) and Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery (2016): a heroine who strikes out on her own, a picturesque setting, and charming small-town dalliances. Most of all, though, this cheering tale celebrates the many ways books bring people together." - Booklist
"Losing myself in Jenny Colgan's beautiful pages is the most delicious, comforting, satisfying treat I have had in ages." - Jane Green, New York Times bestselling author of Summer Secrets
