{Fiction Guild Blog Tour} The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay

Book Description:  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 Madeline’s 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 when 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 for her aunt’s beloved shop—provided the women’s best combined efforts are not too little, too late.

My Thoughts:  Love lost, friendships won, life in a bookshop.

I notably love books, I love a great book shop.  
The smell of print, the eye candy of books and the quietness that seeps into the book soul.
Madeline Cullen wants to sell the bookshop since life seems flat to her.  She finds that of her employees have a different idea though.
Janet suffering from the effects of a recent divorce and Claire loves the stability of the shop.
