A bookshop becomes a crossing point between worlds

Set in the world of Mark Lawrence’s Library Trilogy, The Bookshop Book links a bookshop to the stories on its shelves. Frederick “Red” Archer, a young man living at society’s edge, enters a shop that becomes a turning point in his life. Rose Penrose, meanwhile, has been transported into a book written by her mother. When a pursuer closes in, she finds she can leap into another book—one held in the very shop where Red is standing. The premise brings together bookshops, classic literature and movement between fictional worlds, while placing two characters on opposite sides of the page. It’s a fantasy adventure grounded in the idea of books as places where lives and stories meet.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in epic fantasy connected to a larger series world.
  • Readers drawn to bookshops and stories that enter the pages of books.
  • Those interested in fantasy premises involving fictional worlds and classic literature.

Book overview

A fantasy adventure through cozy, cluttered bookshops and into the pages of classic literature itself, set in the world of international bestselling author Mark Lawrence's groundbreaking The Library Trilogy.

Bookshops have always been places where worlds collide. Places where ideas make war, where cultures meet and mingle. For Frederick "Red" Archer, a young man hanging on at the edge of society, a bookshop he wanders into will be the place that changes his life.

Rose Penrose is watching the world from the other side of the page, transported by an act of awful violence into a book her mother wrote. When a terrifying pursuer has Rose cornered, she is somehow able to leap from the book she inhabits into another--one that happens to be in the very bookshop where Red is standing.

Set in the world of Mark Lawrence's groundbreaking Library Trilogy, this fantasy adventure winds through the stacks of beloved bookshops and into the pages of classic literature itself.
