Five-star review for Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods
Told from the viewpoint of three different characters in two time periods, this was one part mystery, one part romance and one part historical with a touch of paranormal. Each of the characters became real people to me as I read their stories. Opaline’s story, her life was mostly difficult and sad, but it provided the basis for Henry and Martha’s quest and love story. It hardly matters whether or not the lost manuscript really ever existed, but Henry’s search for it to make his mark as the one who found it drives a good portion of the plot. The shop Opaline created is the kind of used bookstore I’ve always loved. The prose in this story is lovely too.
