The Bookshop of Second Chances : The most uplifting story of fresh starts and new beginnings you'll read this year!

Set in a charming little Scottish town, The Bookshop of Second Chances is the most uplifting story you'll read this Winter, by a hugely talented debut author.

Thea’s having a bad month. Not only has she been made redundant, she’s also discovered her husband of nearly twenty years is sleeping with one of her friends. And he’s not sorry – he’s leaving.

Bewildered and lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But, when she learns the great-uncle she barely knew has died and left her his huge collection of second-hand books and a house in the Scottish Lowlands, she seems to have been offered a second chance.

Running away to a little town where no one knows her seems like exactly what Thea needs. But when she meets the aristocratic Maltravers brothers – grumpy bookshop owner Edward and his estranged brother Charles, Lord Hollinshaw – her new life quickly becomes just as complicated as the life she was running from...

An enchanting story of Scottish lords, second-hand books, new beginnings and second chances perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin, Veronica Henry, Rachael Lucas and Jenny Colgan.

En bok som utspelar sig i en bokhandel i Skottland - det kan väl inte slå fel? I det här fallet: nej, det kan det inte.  En härlig feelgood med huvudkaraktärer som lagt både 20- och 30-årsåldern bakom sig. Perfekt som semesterläsning i hängmattan eller solstolen (eller soffan om det råkar regna)! Möjligen att den kunde ha komprimerats något, men det är inte värre än att man kanske skummar över en del stycken när man känner att “hmmm, same, same…”.

Jag tycker om att historien utspelar sig i Skottland
