Synopsis from the publisher:
August 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and drawn curtains that she finds on her arrival are not what she expected. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.
Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed—a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war.
I read The Last Bookshop in London in a mama book club and absolutely fell in love with the story and author! How Madeline Martin ties the power of books to unite and empower a community while the world was falling apart around them is captivating. A beautiful story of courage, love, and, obviously, books! What’s not to love? “You’ll change the world yet. One book at a time.”
Rated: Mild. No profanity, but a few uses of the name of Deity in vain. Violence includes the reality and intensity of the bombings during the war that serves as background to the story. A man has a heart attack and passes away.
