Publisher's Summary
Set in a charming little Scottish town, The Bookshop of Second Chances is the most uplifting story you'll listen to this Winter, by a hugely talented debut author.
Thea’s having a bad month. Not only has she been made redundant, she’s also discovered her husband of nearly twenty years is sleeping with one of her friends. And he’s not sorry – he’s leaving.
Bewildered and lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But, when she learns the great-uncle she barely knew has died and left her his huge collection of second-hand books and a house in the Scottish Lowlands, she seems to have been offered a second chance.
Running away to a little town where no one knows her seems like exactly what Thea needs. But when she meets the aristocratic Maltravers brothers – grumpy bookshop owner Edward and his estranged brother Charles, Lord Hollinshaw – her new life quickly becomes just as complicated as the life she was running from...
An enchanting story of Scottish lords, second-hand books, new beginnings and second chances perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin, Veronica Henry, Rachael Lucas and Jenny Colgan.

fresh fun and feelgood
An enjoyable and undemanding listen, with fun Scottish accents thrown into the mix. I loved the setting, the story had enough realism and wit to avoid becoming schmaltzy, and I'd happily listen to something else by this author/narrator duo.

A very relatable and well written story
Loved it. I can see plenty of women liking the story as it's very plausible although the end is probably a little expected. still, an easy listen with some facts about books to take away.

Great story
loved the story, it was refreshing, even though you knew how it would pan out. Eidilh read it beautifully, as she she usually does. I recommend people to listen to this book.
