The Printed Letter Bookshop





Love, friendship, and family find a home at the Printed Letter Bookshop.

One of Madeline Cullen’s happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened her heart toward her once-treasured aunt—and the now struggling bookshop left in her care.

While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter’s two employees have other ideas. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. When Madeline’s professional life takes an unexpected turn, and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans and her heart. She begins to envision a new path for herself and her aunt’s beloved shop—provided the women’s best combined efforts are not too little, too late.

The Printed Letter Bookshop is a captivating story of good books, a testament to the beauty of new beginnings, and a sweet reminder of the power of friendship.


My Review

I went into this book knowing I would probably like it. It featured a bookshop/books. that is what drew me to this book in the first place. However, I did not know just how much I would really enjoy this book.

All three ladies were lovely. I can not choose a favorite as each one had a different unique story that connected with me. First off, if it had not been for Janet and Claire, I don't know if Madeline would have stayed. These ladies were not only good co-workers but friends as well.

I got "lost" in this book (in a good way). Once, I started reading, there was not a lot that could distract me from the book. Author, Katherine Reay writes a lovely story of friendship, love, second chances, and books. The Printed Letter Bookshop is like receiving a hug from your grandma.
