Ella runs a book shop in the heart of York. She's a wife to a successful man, and mother to an adorable child. But things aren't all perfect for Ella.
Ella is suffering with post natal depression and as such her self confidence is at an all time low.
Bryony comes into the bookshop one day and Ella and her have an instant connection. For things aren't all perfect for Bryony either.
I love how the light hearted nature and the magical element coincided with the more serious subject of mental health.
Many of the characters are eccentric and likeable apart from Selena (who was painted suitably for the type of person she was).
There are enough layers in this plot, such as Bryony's complex relationship with her father that could be padded out into another book.
A good read, I would read more by Nicholls.
