They soldier on though, hoping that all can remain the same. Janet and Claire have complicated family lives and also know that the bookshop is not financially stable so they fear its sale by the new owner. Madeleine is a lawyer working in the city and can’t imagine why her aunt left her the bookshop. Well the deceased owner – Maddie is the fourth woman but she has died and left her bookshop and house to her niece whom she hasn’t seen in about 16 years. The chapters alternated between the voices of the three living women Janet and Claire who work in the titular bookshop and Madeleine, the niece of the owner. The Printed Letter Bookshop is a story told through the lives of four women 3 living and one who has died. Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram My Opinion of The Printed Letter Bookshop: After living all across the country and a few stops in Europe, Katherine and her family presently live outside of Chicago. Katherine holds a BA and MS from Northwestern University and is a wife, mother, runner, former marketer, avid chocolate consumer and, randomly, a tae kwon do black belt. She is also the writer behind Lizzy & Jane, The Bronte Plot, A Portrait of Emily Price and The Austen Escape – all contemporary stories with a bit of “classics” flair. Knightley, was a 2014 Christy Award Finalist and winner of the 2014 INSPY Award for Best Debut as well as Carol Awards for both Best Debut and Best Contemporary. Has she been too quick to dismiss her aunt’s beloved shop? And even if she has, the women’s best combined efforts may be too little, too late. When Madeline’s professional life falls apart, and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans and her heart. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates. While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter’s two employees have other ideas. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline’s heart toward her once-treasured aunt-and the now struggling bookshop left in her care.
One of Madeline Cullen’s happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. Love, friendship, and family find a home at the Printed Letter Bookshop
I thank TLC Book Tours for sending me a copy at no charge for my honest review. I kick it off with The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay. The summer reading season is upon us and I am looking forward to a season of great reading.
