A book about a library was always going to be a winner. This one more than most. The assistant librarian June is the daughter of the long standing librarian – she has passed away from cancer and caring for her and grieving for her has derailed June's life.
Then the dastardly Council starts a process for considering whether to close the library to save money. And it's all on from there.
I enjoyed the characters (most of whom were quirky) and even found myself having a little sob at the end.
Thanks to Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews for letting me know about this book – click here for her post about it.
The author is a TV producer and this is her first novel. Hoping for many more. There is already one called The Lost Ticket – but my library hasn't got it yet.
Your review of this book sounds good, I need something light to finish out the year, and my library has an ebook available so I downloaded it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation. I'm always a sucker for a book about libraries or librarians.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a book I'd like. I just saw your review of the Lost Ticket and would like that one as well.
