Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. In recognition of Reading Ireland Month, I’m featuring a book about an Irish bookshop, The Bookshop Ladies by Faith Hogan.
I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.
My Summary:
Joy Blackwood and her husband live in Paris. When he dies unexpectedly (in the first pages of the book), she discovers that he has left a valuable painting to Robyn Tessier in Ballycove, Ireland. Joy sets out to deliver the painting and to uncover this mystery woman’s identity. Without revealing her purpose, Joy rents a room and becomes entangled with the community and Robyn’s bookstore business. By the time she realizes this woman’s relationship to her late husband, circumstances have become complicated and the truth changes all their lives.

QOTD:
Do you love books about bookshops?
Sounds like a lovely read! Thanks for taking part
My pleasure! Thanks for hosting!
If a book has bookshop in the title I will definitely check it out. Recently I read The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods, and loved it. Gave it a 4.5 (out of 5) rating.
I’m the same way! It’s like a magnet! Thanks for the rec!
I loved this book too, Carol. 💖📚
