The Library by Bella Osborne

 
 


I ordered The Library based on posts by Book'd Out and Rachel's Random Reads.

 

The book wasn't quite what I expected – and this turned out to be a good thing.  The threatened library closure is actually pretty incidental.

 

This is really about 2 different characters who strike up a unusual relationship.  An introverted teenage boy living with his heavy drinking father and a feisty 72 year old lady who lives alone.

 

You'll love Maggie and empathise with Tom who is not only living in a difficult environment but is also bullied at school.
