De: Stephanie Butland

Narrado por: Imogen Church

The Lost for Words Bookshop is a compelling, irresistible, and heart-rending audiobook from author Stephanie Butland

Loveday Cardew prefers books to people. If you look carefully, you might glimpse the first lines of the novels she loves most tattooed on her skin. But there are some things Loveday will never, ever show you.

Into her hiding place - the bookstore where she works - come a poet, a lover, and three suspicious deliveries.

Someone has found out about her mysterious past. Will Loveday survive her own heartbreaking secrets?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Lost for Words Bookshop pushes all my bookish buttons." (Red [Books to Read])

"Quirky, clever and unputdownable." (Katie Fforde)

"Burns fiercely with love and hurt. A rare and beautiful novel." (Linda Green, best-selling author of While My Eyes Were Closed)

So beautifully written!

Oh and Imogen, couldn't get better. The story dragged sometimes, but the writing was incredibly well done.

Not my usual read—but I loved it!

This concoction of story and performance took me far away from my everyday life and landed me in the mind of young Loveday, who slowly, compellingly shares her jagged past and, as she comes to a new understanding of her present, reveals how she plans to move forward.

Enjoyable book

I loved this book. I like a unique story that takes us on a journey and this book delivered that. I didn’t want this book to end - it really was a great book. Don’t pass this one by.

Nice story

it was a nice treat even though I was wondering at first where the author was going with this. i felt for Loveday and feel in love with Nathan. i just missed a little more excitement...

Great Book All the Way Around

I loved all the characters. They are well developed and the narrator did a fantastic job portraying their voices. I would go so far as to say the narrator was exceptional! In a sea of talent on Audible, she stands out. Wish there were more books like this......

Sad and sweet

Loved this book, as well as the performance. I came to care for these characters and enjoyed Loveday’s thought life.

Consider this a required reading.

For lovers of “Elenor Oliphant is Completely Fine” this is a must read. I was hooked within the first minute. I absolutely loved it.

Loved it!

The book was charming and the narrator was a pleasure to listen to. Takes you out of the every day for a little while

A story that goes straight to your heart!

I absolutely loved this novel. Well-written, full of love and struggle. Loved the way this was written and loved even more listening to Imogen's voice, which is amazing as usual! I found the story witty, funny at times, sad and happy and deep and cozy! Highly recommend it!

One of the very best

This book is lovely - excellent characters, excellent writing. One of the smartest books in this genre that I’ve ever read. It’s a love poem to books and bookshops, and an insightful observation on trauma and grief and family and healing.
