Description
“Absolutely delightful.” —People
The enchanting story of a bookshop, its grieving owner, a supportive literary community, and the extraordinary power of books to heal the heart
 
Nightingale Books, nestled on the main street in an idyllic little village, is a dream come true for book lovers—a cozy haven and welcoming getaway for the literary-minded locals. But owner Emilia Nightingale is struggling to keep the shop open after her beloved father’s death, and the temptation to sell is getting stronger. The property developers are circling, yet Emilia's loyal customers have become like family, and she can't imagine breaking the promise she made to her father to keep the store alive. 
There's Sarah, owner of the stately Peasebrook Manor, who has used the bookshop as an escape in the past few years, but it now seems there’s a very specific reason for all those frequent visits. Next is roguish Jackson, who, after making a complete mess of his marriage, now looks to Emilia for advice on books for the son he misses so much. And the forever shy Thomasina, who runs a pop-up restaurant for two in her tiny cottage—she has a crush on a man she met in the cookbook section, but can hardly dream of working up the courage to admit her true feelings. 
Enter the world of Nightingale Books for a serving of romance, long-held secrets, and unexpected hopes for the future—and not just within the pages on the shelves. How to Find Love in a Bookshop is the delightful story of Emilia, the unforgettable cast of customers whose lives she has touched, and the books they all cherish.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Narrator Fiona Hardingham's engaging voice is a perfect fit for this warm audiobook featuring a delightful bookshop called Nightingale Books in a bucolic English village. Emilia Nightingale inherits the shop from her generous and loving father. In spite of multiple frustrations, she attempts to continue the tradition of providing his beloved customers with a book for every need. As patrons and employees of the bookshop are layered into the story, Hardingham makes each voice distinct and expertly alters her pace and tone to match the emotion of every scene, whether humorous or sad. The Peasebrook community offers Emilia support and comfort as she grieves the loss of her father and as she becomes overwhelmed by managing the shop. A delightful feel-good listen.

        January 1, 2018

        Emilia Nightingale returns from Hong Kong to her childhood home in Peasebrook in the middle of the English Cotswolds when she inherits Nightingale Books after her father's death. Taking over the establishment means that her inheritance comes to include the villagers as well, for instance, a kleptomaniac new mother, a trying-not-to-be-a-deadbeat dad, an accomplished chef, a renowned conductor and his temperamental girlfriend, and even her father's married lover. The elder Nightingale's antiquated business practices have just about wrung the coffers dry, but clever, caring Emilia just might maneuver a few happy beginnings. Fiona Hardingham makes for an ideal narrator for Emilia with her youthful-yet-world-weary presentation; she effortlessly shifts her voice sharply for city-transplant thief Bea, crisply for elegantly aging lover Sarah, and menacingly for greedy developer Ian, using her chameleonic modulations to excellent effect for a sprawling cast of characters. VERDICT Bookshop-book fans who flocked to Jenny Colgan's The Bookshop on the Corner, Katarina Bivald's The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, and Gabrielle Zevin's The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry will want to add Love to their audio shelves.
