As a book lover, I really enjoy novels that are set in libraries and looked forward to The Last Library.
I had so much fun getting to know library assistant June Jones and the visitors of Chalcot Library. Each of the characters were so distinguishable and the varied personalities really brought them to life. I also liked the running theme of grief and the affect it had upon June. I’d read that some found her character a little pathetic, however I loved her transformation.
A quick read with lovely spirit. I’ll definitely read more from this author.
