Goodreads asked Mark Feakins:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Mark Feakins As a child I visited the town of Rye near our family home. On the High Street was an independent bookshop - it was my favourite place to go. I always wanted to own that shop and spend my days pottering around chatting to people. It didn't make it in real life, so I thought I'd do it in fiction.
