How to Find Love in a Bookshop

De: Veronica Henry

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

The enchanting story of a bookshop, its grieving owner, a supportive literary community, and the extraordinary power of books to heal the heart.

Nightingale Books, nestled on the main street in an idyllic little village, is a dream come true for book lovers - a cozy haven and welcoming getaway for the literary-minded locals. But owner Emilia Nightingale is struggling to keep the shop open after her beloved father's death, and the temptation to sell is getting stronger. The property developers are circling, yet Emilia's loyal customers have become like family, and she can't imagine breaking the promise she made to her father to keep the store alive.

There's Sarah, owner of the stately Peasebrook Manor, who has used the bookshop as an escape in the past few years, but it now seems there's a very specific reason for all those frequent visits. Next is roguish Jackson, who, after making a complete mess of his marriage, now looks to Emilia for advice on books for the son he misses so much. And the forever shy Thomasina, who runs a pop-up restaurant for two in her tiny cottage - she has a crush on a man she met in the cookbook section but can hardly dream of working up the courage to admit her true feelings.

Enter the world of Nightingale Books for a serving of romance, long-held secrets, and unexpected hopes for the future - and not just within the pages on the shelves. How to Find Love in a Bookshop is the delightful story of Emilia, the unforgettable cast of customers whose lives she has touched, and the books they all cherish.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A love letter to books and the shops that sell them.” (USA Today)

“Charming... A light romantic comedy well-suited for bibliophiles and Anglophiles alike.” (Kirkus Reviews)

"Henry describes her novel as an ode to bookshops, and it is that... Readers who laughed and cried over ­Gabrielle Zevin’s The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove will love this one." (Library Journal)

Such an enjoyable listen!

I do not review books very often but I wanted to let others know how much I like this book. I fell in love with the characters and the town. I may have to listen to it again!

A Great Listen!

I really enjoyed this! The characters were great and I loved how the story followed different characters and even told their back story seamlessly. I really enjoyed the narrator as well.

Great narration!

A cozy read and an experience meant for long quiet nights—Veronica Henry was able to tie up a lot of stories anchored by 1 character and make Peasebrook a home for every reader

Love, Love, Love, this book

This was one of those stories that kept me sitting in my car in the garage listening to more because I didn't want it to stop. I felt good about all the characters and the story. These days as I'm struggling with some of life's "stuff", this book was a welcome reprieve The audio performance soothed me as I listened. The writing transformed me to a place I want to experience. It was like taking a vacation in spirit. The only negative comment I have is that it wasn't long enough.

Glad I began this book 3 times

I found this book difficult to get started but after the third time I found myself captivated by the characters. This book is a fun book to read with varying curves in the plot. a happy ever after book.

Everything works out all right

Reminded me of the movie, "Love Actually." Multiple stories; some focused on more than others. A death, a wedding, an aging entertainer, plus others. A bit of a corny ending. Lovely setting.

Lovely

Another book chosen for a book challenge, the How To category! I loved all of the characters and how they were woven around each other. I’ve dreamed of owning a bookshop and this book made me want it even more.

charming story!

Excellent narration for a lovely story with great characters. This is escapist brain-candy at its best!

Reminded me of the movie Love Actually

A great listen! Feels like it’s about 5 books in one. Very very enjoyable story. Totally recommend it!

loved it!

This started a little slow, but characters were well developed, and the story quite sweet. overall, I enjoyed it.
