I enjoyed this book. Listened to it as an audiobook via Hoopla.
This is a mostly realistic story with fantastical elements. It takes part in two time periods: 1940s with Opaline and modern day with Henry and Martha.
A mysterious bookshop that appears and disappears as it wills is at the center of everyone’s adventures. A tree is growing at its center. Strange events, “coincidences”, and possible spirits surround this shop. It’s almost as if the bookshop is alive and guiding these people through life and toward fulfillment, wisdom, and love.
This novel has the potential to reach 5 stars for its timeless lessons and relatable characters.
