‘A powerful ode to friendship’ Fabulous

Her new chapter starts now…

Jo Sorsby is hiding from her past when she agrees to run her uncle’s beloved stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble little notes and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from her bruised heart.

When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian still finding himself, she suddenly realizes she isn’t alone.

They each have a story that can transform Jo’s life… if only she can let them in.

The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Bookshop in this gorgeous novel about secrets, second chances and finding friendship in the most unlikely places.

Loved my first Sally Page audio book

I loved this book. The characters were well-written and they discussed, and did, many interesting things - It made me want to be in the friend group. I have a few different age friends (much younger and much older) and rarely do you get to read about these kinds of relationships. It would be lovely if the book inspired more people to venture into them. I was fortunate to hear Sally talk about her books and writing in our local book club and she brought along the Reverend that the Runaway Vicar was based on. I would never have guessed why she had run from her parish, so it was a nice revelation at the end. I cannot wait to read or listen to Sally's new release in August - The Secrets of Flowers.
