Product Information

Stephanie's stories are thoughtful and warm, written with much humour, and most importantly care. I'd recommend them to anyone, and especially those recovering from a broken heart' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Basically, didn’t realise it was set during the pandemic, which is why it’s important to read the blurb! I will say that I really enjoyed the characters, both major and minor, they were well rounded and had great little stories all of their own. (There’s also a previous book that I’m going to have to go and read now) Found in a Bookshop is the follow up to Lost for Words, but it can be read as a standalone novel as Butland subtly fills you in on Loveday’s history throughout the book. Lost for Words has made it to my TBR pile and I look forward to reading it.

To be completely honest, I read the title and thought - yes, I want to read a book about a bookshop. I didn’t read the blurb. I really liked the characters Rosemary and George. I loved the concept of getting books as part of mental health and how they can help us through rough times.

Each reader will discover life as it was during that time, and the hope that carries us forward. The next steps. The next connections. "It’s the state of mind and heart of the person reading it that will make the book grow into something greater than the words printed in it." The novel encourages us to remember that sometimes, to move forward, there are goodbyes, and many are goodbyes that we never want to say. But as we say those goodbyes, we carry the legacy of those we loved so dearly with us. Books refresh our spirits; we carry the words we read forward in our thoughts, hearts, and actions. Her writing is utterly engaging and this book truly moved me. Compassionate, unusual, original and full of wonderful characters' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐This book is set around the Pandemic, so starts in 2020, although no specific dates are mentioned. If you still feel about shaky around the subject of Covid, this book might not be for you. I know I couldn’t have listened to it if it had been published earlier, so the timing has been perfect for me.
