About this listen

Loveday Cardew prefers books to people, and her job in a York bookshop is her refuge. If you look carefully, you might see the first lines of the novels she loves the most tattooed on her skin, but there are secrets Loveday will never share.

Into the bookshop come a poet, a lover, a friend and three mysterious deliveries, each of which stirs unsettling memories she wants to forget. Turning the pages of her past will be the hardest thing Loveday has ever done. Can she trust those around her? Can she right a heartbreaking wrong? And will she find the words to tell her own story?

An inspiring coming of age story about a young woman finding courage to love and be loved after childhood loss and trauma. The story is well researched and provides an accurate portrayal of the dynamics of domestic violence. A simple story told with insight, compassion and warmth. A cast of loveable characters. A reminder about the inestimable value of kindness and friendship.
