Love it. It was a great story of three different characters. One of them (Opaline) from a different time, gives puzzles of the story that Martha and Henry are living.
Evie Woods tells another beautifully written and magical story with The Lost Bookshop. Her prose has a way of drawing you in with its quiet charm, blending a touch of whimsy with heartfelt depth.This book brings together multiple perspectives and timelines, centering around Martha, Henry, and Opaline, three very different characters whose lives are unexpectedly linked through the mystery of a hidden bookshop. Each of their journeys feels layered and meaningful: Martha’s escape from a controlling life, Henry’s search for belonging, and Opaline’s historical thread filled with resilience and secrets. While their stories unfold separately, the way Woods weaves them together creates a sense of fate and timelessness that I really enjoyed.The setting itself feels like a character, an enchanting, almost otherworldly bookshop that seems to appear when it’s needed most. It carries that sense of wonder that book lovers will instantly connect with, reminding us of the magic that stories and words can hold.The characters and their growth made the journey worthwhile. It’s not just about books, it’s about second chances, self-discovery, and finding strength in unexpected places.A lovely, atmospheric read for anyone who believes in the quiet power of stories.
I really enjoyed reading this book! Each of the characters was very interesting, and the historical settings intriguing. Personally, I prefer writing styles that are not parallel timelines (sorted character by character with one chapter about a certain character and the next chapter about another one) but in this case, it was so well written that I stuck with it and actually hated to put it down. I would highly recommend it!
I enjoyed the story and the concept - each chapter is told by one of the main characters. There are essentially two stories from different time periods that eventually come together in resolution at the end. The story line didn't catch me up as much as I thought it might. I tended to read a chapter or two a night.
This book helped me find my love for reading again. I couldn't wait to get home every night to read and if I had plans I missed my time with The Lost Bookshop.It had everything one could hope for in a novel -- magic, famous people I admire, lovely places I'd visited and I felt connected to the people and places from the beginning.Anyone who's looking to be inspired should read this. It will bring a little magic into your life.
