“A lively, engaging, fascinating story of women united by courage, care and a belief in the power of books. It is a love song to reading and its ability to transport people from even the hardest of situations, but it is also an exploration of hope, love and the power of community and friendship to overcome the worst that fate can throw at us. A warm, involving, deeply human story.” —Jenny Lecoat, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl from the Channel Islands
