About this listen
From the author of the phenomenal bestseller The Keeper of Stories, comes an utterly beautiful and charming novel full of mystery and secrets waiting to be uncovered…
‘Filled with compassion and insight . . . a true ode to friendship’ HAZEL PRIOR
‘Masterful storytelling’ CELIA ANDERSON
‘A powerful ode to friendship’ Fabulous
Her new chapter starts now…
Jo Sorsby is hiding from her past when she agrees to run her uncle’s beloved stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble little notes and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from her bruised heart.
When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian still finding himself, she suddenly realizes she isn’t alone.
They each have a story that can transform Jo’s life… if only she can let them in.
The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Bookshop in this gorgeous novel about secrets, second chances and finding friendship in the most unlikely places.

A really good and rather different novel.
I loved this book. A lovely novel about true friendships. Vikings can get along with average people can get along with runaway vicars can get along with atheists!

Beautiful
I just loved this book. The characters and the history of those in Highgate Cemetery. We have a trip planned to go down there after Christmas. It made me so much more eager... My husband needs convincing! Lol.. Highly recommend this story.

Nothing to worry you.
I loved the characters in this story! Especially Ruth. The Scottish accent that the reader did really made her come alive! I’m sad I won’t be hearing from her again now…..an opening there Sally???
