Summary
 From the bestselling author of The Midnight Bookshop

Some books find you exactly when you need them most.

Tucked away on a cobbled Cornish street, The Twilight Bookshop is waiting. Not everyone can find it. But for those who do, nothing will ever be the same again.

Mel has spent thirty years burying her acting dreams. Izzy gave up her passion for painting the day her world fell apart. Tom, recently widowed, fills his days with activity to drown out the silence where his beloved Sandra used to be.

When the bookshop's extraordinary keeper, Zara, welcomes them across the threshold at twilight, something remarkable begins. Because here, second-hand books hold the energy of everyone who has ever loved them – and at twilight, that energy comes alive.
