Une nouvelle lecture audio à mon actif !
J'ai adoré le pitch de base, forcément, avec un combo Écosse/Highlands et amour des livres, je ne pouvais que craquer pour ce scénario.
C'est donc l'histoire de Nina, presque trentenaire, qui change radicalement de vie suite à la fermeture de la médiathèque de Birmingham qui l'employait. Ce vrai rat de bibliothèque achète un van gigantesque au fin fond de l'Écosse, et s'y établit, en montant une librairie ambulante qui sillonne les villages et les mar ...more

Meh. The book started not terribly, with a decent brain-candy vibe. But, it devolved into poorly-written harlequin romance and so I can't even round up to three stars.
I'm glad I can return this one to the library. I don't think I will be looking up other work by this author. ...more

Such potential! Eighty percent of this novel was charming and delightful and just the adventure I was dreaming of for this reading experience. However, it bottomed out with explicit nude and sex scenes that were wholly inappropriate and unnecessary. Those scenes spoiled this entire book for me, and they cheapened the romance too, which had, prior to that intrusion, been of the sweeping, utterly sweet variety.

A cute story about starting over and most importantly about books and the power they have. The author's message to readers at the beginning was spot on. Loved that!

Jenny Colgan never fails me. Such a good story with an inspiring storyline.
