“A love letter to the power of books to unite us, to hold the world together when it’s falling apart around our ears. JILLIAN CANTOR, author of In Another Time and Half Life “A gorgeously written story of love, friendship, and survival set against the backdrop of WWII-era London.” Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed-a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and drawn curtains that she finds on her arrival are not what she expected. KIM MICHELE RICHARDSON, author of The Book Woman of Troublesome CreekĪugust 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe. “An irresistible tale which showcases the transformative power of literacy, reminding us of the hope and sanctuary our neighborhood bookstores offer during the perilous trials of war and unrest.”
