"Jo Sorsby knows she is hiding from her past when she steps in to look after her uncle’s stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble notes with fountain pens and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from the life she has left behind.
Yet far from home, Jo feels adrift . . .
When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian struggling to write his first book, she realises that she isn’t alone.
It’s the beginning of a friendship that can transform Jo’s life . . . if only she can let them in."
This was such a lovely soft and gentle book to read and I absolutely loved it.
From Jo, to Ruth, Malcolm and the Viking, I felt like I knew and connected with the characters and was rooting for them all. There were some sad moments, some hysterical moments and, of course, the misunderstandings along the way to love, all rounded up in a warm hug and a cup of tea.
Stationery is one of my most favourite things too, so I would love to find a shop like Jo's and spend time in there with her and all her goodies, browsing, buying and trying out her fountain pens.
I cannot wait to read more from this Author, an easy 5* from me.
