The Lost for Words Bookshop by Stephanie Butland is a compelling, irresistible, and heart-rending novel, perfect for all book lovers."In The Lost for Words Bookshop, Stephanie Butland has created a bibliophile's delight. Witty and irreverent, funny and sad, this is a charming tribute to stories on the page and in our lives--and the powers they can hold over us."—Matthew Sullivan author of Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
"Burns fiercely with love and hurt. A rare and beautiful novel."—Linda Green, bestselling author of While My Eyes Were Closed
Loveday Cardew prefers books to people. If you look carefully, you might glimpse the first lines of the novels she loves most tattooed on her skin. But there are some things Loveday will never, ever show you.
Into her hiding place - the bookstore where she works - come a poet, a lover, and three suspicious deliveries.
Someone has found out about her mysterious past. Will Loveday survive her own heartbreaking secrets? (synopsis from Amazon)
THE LOST FOR WORDS BOOKSHOP is a wonderful place to visit.
Loveday gets by, grows up, and recovers from her traumatic childhood with a little help from her friends; even those she doesn't realize she has.
Most people get complacent in their daily lives and routines. It's comfortable. But, you never know what you're missing until you allow yourself to move outside your comfort zone, shake it up a bit, push yourself. And so it is with Loveday. Her journey of discovery begins with a found book of poetry.
I'm so glad I joined Loveday and her circle, and while there were certainly times my heart broke, both with and for her, it was time well spent.
If you enjoy character driven stories without graphic sex or violence, or just need a change from those, THE LOST FOR WORDS BOOKSHOP is certainly that.
If you believe in books, judiciously selected words, and their power to offer escape, shape, and healing. This is the book for you.
