I just finished “The Library” by Bella Osborn and I have to say it was quite the delightful book.
It is set in a small English village where the center of life is the pub and the library. The library, it seems, in on the list for closure and the patrons are up in arms. Well, at least a few of them. So, they set out to save the library in a well hatched plan that involves organization, placards, an internet presence and a protest march!
The main characters are Maggie, Paul and Tom. Maggie is clearly the heroine — an aging hippie — excuse me “flower child”, Tom a teenager who is escaping home and his alcoholic father and Paul, the alcoholic father. Maggie has a past that unfolds as the story unfolds, Tom has a future, thanks to Maggie and Paul has a second chance.
This book is described as a “feel good” story and it truly is. I enjoyed every minute of it and would recommend it anyone. It has conflict, it has backstories, it is clean and actually, for me, a page turner.
So, check it out! It is a quick read that I think you will enjoy.
