Oh my, I loved, loved, loved this book! Not only is it about books, but also about taking chances in life and becoming the person you really should be. And yes, it has a little romance in it, but it's really a book about finding your strength, speaking your mind, and not being pushed aside.
Nina Redmond is a librarian who is let go when the small library she works in closes. She has always wanted to own a bookshop, or even a bookmobile, so she finds an old van that she buys in Scotland. The story is filled with quirky characters, heartwarming interactions with town folks, a little romance with a train engineer, and even an unfortunate relationship with her landlord. (That was a disappointment to me, far too predictable and so out of character for Nina.)
This is book that makes you smile, cry, laugh, and cheer on the woman who finally makes her way in life, doing what she has always wanted to do. YAY!
