The Last Bookshop by Emma Young, Fremantle Press

Cait is the proprietor of a second-hand bookshop where you can hunt out everything from C.S. Lewis’ Narnia adventures to futuristic Margaret Atwood novels. Cait also provides a mobile library for the elderly pillars of the community, including her ex-nanny, who bequeathed her love of books onto her charge. After hours it’s just Cait and her cat, until “Mystery Shopper” James walks in and Cait can’t wait to put the CLOSED sign up. Emma Young’s knowledge of literature wafts through this story of love, loss and loneliness like a warm breeze, reminding us that stories can help heal.
