The Hometown Bookshop

A delightfully cosy and uplifting read
After her life falls apart, actress Charlotte retreats to her hometown, finding work at a local bookshop. Greg, the grumpy manager, resists her efforts to revitalise the shop. But when they discover a shared passion for theatre, friendship blossoms. Can they both find the courage to start a new chapter?

'The story equivalent of a big cosy jumper and a hot cup of tea on a rainy day.' —Carmen Marcus

Actress Charlotte has it all: a starring role in a West End show, a glittering social life and an equally high-flying boyfriend. But when her perfect existence abruptly falls apart, she retreats to her hometown on the North Yorkshire coast, finding a summer job in the local bookshop.

Greg, the grumpy, old-fashioned manager of Seaswept Books, is alarmed by Charlotte’s attempts to revitalise the tired-looking bookshop. But when she discovers his secret passion for amateur dramatics, an unlikely friendship blossoms.

As Charlotte begins to question whether her showbiz life was really all that dreamy, and as Greg ventures beyond his comfort zone – with a little help from handsome librarian Nick – can both of them find the courage to start a new chapter?
