A bookshop on wheels in the Scottish Highlands

After losing her library job, Nina Redmond starts over in a Scottish village by turning a van into a mobile bookshop. Her work matching books with readers gives the novel a clear link between its heroine’s livelihood and its interest in storytelling, while village encounters bring local life, new connections, and romance into the picture. The Highlands setting marks a shift from Nina’s former city routine, as she builds both a business and a sense of belonging in unfamiliar surroundings.

  • For readers who enjoy fiction about books, libraries, and bringing stories to others.

Book overview

Nina Redmond is a librarian with a gift for finding the perfect book for her readers. But can she write her own happy-ever-after? In this valentine to readers, librarians, and book-lovers the world over, the New York Times-bestselling author of Little Beach Street Bakery returns with a funny, charming, and moving feel-good novel for fans of Nina George's The Little Paris Bookshop.

Nina is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion... and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more.

 

Determined to start over and make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village in the Scottish Highlands. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile -- a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling.

From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there's plenty of adventure, magic, and romance in a place that's beginning to feel like home... a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.
