Once I returned from my mini-vacation at the beginning of the week, I was ready to read something light. It was the beginning of summer break, after all! That’s when I fell into The Bookshop on the Corner and was immediately sucked into a charming story set in the Scottish highlands.
Nina finds herself in need of a new job now that the library she has served for many years has been closed, now serving patrons exclusively through technology. Rather than follow the safe path laid out before her, Nina decides to open a mobile bookstore and has found the perfect van — in Scotland!
While picking up the van and telling the locals about her plans for selling books on the move, she realizes that the people here in this quaint village are desperate for books now that their own library has been closed. Despite her efforts to return to her urban home, it seems as though fate is at work and Nina must remain in Scotland. The prospect of a little romance in Nina’s life does not negatively impact her decision either.
Filled with comedy and heart-warming connections, The Bookshop on the Corner is a charming novel that will leave the reader wanting more while reminding them of the magical power that can only be found in the pages of a good book. This book is the first in the author’s “Scottish Bookstore” series.
