Just finished another book on my Goodreads challenge list. This one is titled “The English Bookshop” by Janis Wildy. It wasn’t on a wish list but rather I just grabbed it off Kindle Unlimited, in a rush, looking for something to read.
It ticked all the boxes — nice cover, words like “English” and “bookshop”, was a reasonable length and stand alone. It also didnt appear to be a title that was going to try to solve the world’s problems.
I was drawn in from page 1. It is a delightful read about Lucy, a young women in business with her mother and stepbrother. Mom is rather selfish and a bit mean spirited and brother is a corporate climber. Lucy was from a prior marriage and she knew very little about her biological father, especially after he left her and her mother to return to England to pursue a career.
Then, one day a letter arrived and informed Lucy that her father had passed on and she had inherited his property. She felt compelled to pursue this, her mother wanted her to pretend it wasn’t happening.
Down the rabbit hole she went — off to England for a life changing week with people she never knew she needed to know.
I will leave it at that because you need to read it.
It is a light read, maybe a few tears here and there but over all it is a really comfy read and I recommend it completely.
I might even read it again and I might buy the physical book I was so enamored with it.
And Trixie says good morning!

That book sounds so familiar that I think I must have read it. Or another book that had a similar plot. Nice easy late summer reading.
At one point I thought I had read it before too but I hadn’t. I enjoyed it.
Hi Trixie! You are awfully cute!
