"The thing about books is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of."
The Lost Bookshop is a historical fiction that covers important issues like the struggles of being an independent woman in the late 1800s-1900s with a hint of magical realism. It's crazy how women were treated and how little control they had over their own lives.
This is not my usual genre and I am glad I picked it up, thanks to my book club. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!
