I really enjoyed this book. I have read Sally Paige's previous book The Keeper of Stories and although I found it a pleasant read I definitely preferred her new book The Book of Beginnings.
The book features Jo, who is newly single and given the opportunity to escape that life by taking over her elderly uncle's stationery and hardware shop. Here Jo meets a runaway vicar Ruth, Malcolm who is a lonely older gentleman and other characters like Eric the Viking.
Jo is struggling with the end of her relationship, especially when she realises that no one else is her life particularly liked her ex partner James and part of the book is her trying to rebuild her relationship with her best friend.
This book is definitely the type of book that feels like a hug when you read it. I really enjoyed reading it and would be happy to read future novels by Sally Page.
