How to Find Love in a Bookshop: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
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.

A young woman takes over her father's bookshop and discovers its importance to its small-town clientele.Emilia Nightingale is called back to her childhood home in the English Cotswolds when her father, Julius, is on his deathbed. Emilia makes a final promise to her father that she will look after the bookshop that has been his life's work and, following his death, sets about trying to fill his role at Nightingale Books. Through an outpouring of affection from the town's residents, Emilia realizes that Julius was a beloved fixture of the community, and she has big shoes to fill. She also sees how integral the bookshop has been in facilitating relationships throughout the town. As she refamiliarizes herself with the village of Peasebrook and its people, six different love stories begin to unfold, all of which are somehow connected to the bookstore. Unfortunately, Emilia quickly learns that her father was more of a bookworm than a businessman. The store has amassed tremendous debt over the years, and Julius' habit of selling books at deep discounts has not helped. Complicating matters further, a local real estate developer is pressuring Emilia to sell him the shop. A quick sale would solve Emilia's financial woes, but she cannot bear the thought of closing the shop. In her U.S. debut, Henry (High Tide, 2015, etc.) creates one obstacle after another for Nightingale Books and its patrons. At the same time, she explores deeper questions of personal choice and the different forms in which love manifests. This charming story moves forward at a steady pace as several different couples struggle to make connections and work past strife. A light romantic comedy well-suited for bibliophiles and Anglophiles alike.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Though the cover art suggests a lighter read, there are more serious depths within Henry's latest (after High Tide) as characters navigate relationships, heartaches, and grief. Emilia Nightingale is called back to her hometown of Peasebrook in Cotswold, England, where her father, Julius, is dying. After his death, she is determined to keep his beloved shop, Nightingale Books, open and thriving. That may be difficult, since Julius didn't keep track of the finances and left the business pretty steeply in debt. Waiting in the wings is a developer ready to snap up the property if Emilia would give him an opening. As she struggles with her grief and to make sense of what her father left her, Emilia finds help from the townspeople. Julius was a beloved figure in the community, and many of the locals' lives are entwined with the fate and fortunes of the bookstore. VERDICT Henry describes her novel as an ode to bookshops, and it is that. It's also an exploration of those who interact with the store, each a fully realized character. Readers who laughed and cried over Gabrielle Zevin's The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove will love this one.--Jane Jorgenson, Madison P.L., WI
