The English Bookshop

What is Lucy Baslow to do when she inherits a charming bookshop in the English countryside that she just can’t keep?  For fans of Jackie Fraser and Jenny Colgan looking for a comfort read about bookshops, English villages and following your dreams.

Lucy isn’t ready for a life’s journey when it comes knocking; she just wants to keep everything the same as the day her stepfather Paul died. Unfortunately, expenses have overtaken the small family business that she runs, forcing her to do something quickly to keep it afloat.

Luck seems to be on her side when she finds out she has inherited a bookshop in England from her estranged biological father. She travels to Wakeby, England, intent on selling the bookshop as soon as possible in order to save her own business. But once there she meets a wonderfully kind group of villagers who challenge her decision to make a quick sale. A handsome bookseller is especially intent on getting her to see that there was another side to her biological father. 

What begins as a way to make money for her business in Seattle becomes a journey that uncovers family secrets and reveals the kindness of strangers. In Wakeby, Lucy must find a way to rewrite her past in order to follow her heart. 

Step into the warm English village of Wakeby and enjoy browsing favorites at Baslow’s Bookshop, experience a full English breakfast at Hollyhock B&B and take a romantic walk in the luscious local gardens.
