I read this short novel in two days. It was amusing and stimulating. Book lovers will enjoy it, especially the numerous references to literature and its allusions to literature and authors.
Helen McGill, who has cared for her famous author brother, Andrew, decides one day to pursue adventure. When Roger Mifflin shows up at their farm, hoping to sell his traveling bookstore to Andrew, Helen buys it instead. If her brother owned it, he would leave her with the farm work for months at a time. In haste, Helen leaves, planning to drop Roger off at a train station and to resume his business. Adventure and romance ensue. Helen's life changes in one decision.
*Highly recommend.
Consideration: a couple of swear words
Sequel- The Haunted Bookshop (I am hoping to borrow it from the library and read it once home from vacation.)
