About this listen

*previously published as THE LITTLE SHOP OF HAPPY EVER AFTER*

Nobody does cosy, get-away-from-it-all romance like Jenny Colgan' Sunday Express

In the Scottish Highlands, a little bus packed with books brings joy to the road . . .

'A total joy' Sophie Kinsella
'An evocative, sweet treat' Jojo Moyes
'Gorgeous, glorious, uplifting' Marian Keyes
'Irresistible' Jill Mansell
'Just lovely' Katie Fforde
'Naturally funny, warm-hearted' Lisa Jewell
'A gobble-it-all-up-in-one-sitting kind of book' Mike Gayle
___________________________________

Nina is a librarian who spends her days happily matchmaking books and people - she always knows what someone should read next. But when her beloved library closes and she's suddenly out of a job, Nina has no idea what to do next. Then an advert catches her eye: she could be the owner of a tiny little bookshop bus, driving around the Scottish highlands.

Using up all her courage, and her savings, Nina makes a new start in the beautiful Scottish highlands. But real life is a bit trickier than the stories she loves - especially when she keeps having to be rescued by the grumpy-but-gorgeous farmer next door...

Dreams start here . . .

I really loved this book. I want to escape to a life in the Scottish Highlands with some books and a Highland farmer. A great story, well read by the narrator. Ready to read more by this author.

Great story and escape

I really enjoyed this story, but then my fantasy is to pack it all in al move to Scotland so it was right up my alley... As I live in Australia I'll just have to live vicariously 😜.

The only I did find irritating was the narrators attempts at a male voice(s) it was quite hard picturing strong Scottish farmer types when they sound like they would be more likely to own small show quality dogs and would t been seen dead with dirt under their nails. But the story made up for it :)

Really enjoyable even if the guy voices sound like girl voices
