The Bookstore at Rivers End

Temple River, Book 2

De: Phillipa Nefri Clark

Narrado por: Brigid Lohrey

The discovery of a mysterious diary sparks an emotional journey of healing and second chances in this spellbinding new novel from USA Today bestselling author Phillipa Nefri Clark.

Harriet Main moves to the beautiful coastal town of Rivers End with a heavy heart. The bookstore she’s opening on the idyllic main street is a small distraction from the pain of her recent divorce, and the guilt over failing her daughter Olive when she needed her most.

When Harriet finds an anonymous old diary in a collection of books donated to the store, she’s shocked when the donor refuses to take it back, wanting nothing to do with the tragic book. It’s Olive who wants them to read the diary, and when they find a wistful account of a treasure hunt set up by three teenage girls, they decide to follow the clues together. Perhaps the search will help Harriet find the lost pieces of herself.

But uncovering the story hidden in the pages unlocks a decades-old mystery that changes everything, for Harriet, for her daughter, and for the writer whose past they have unwittingly unearthed. When the terrible truth resurfaces, can she find the strength to help heal an old wrong, and how will her path be forever altered by the discovery?

A gripping and heart-wrenching novel, perfect for fans of Barbara O’Neal, Barbara Davis and Mary Alice Monroe.

The weaving of old and new

It was a great read. I enjoyed the historical wound with the present. I did find the romance was somewhat predictable.

I thought it was boring

I tried to get into this book. I just couldn’t get it past a few couple chapters. It was so slow moving and just boring to me.
