The Last Bookshop

Emma Young

A charming novel about the last bookshop standing in the city. Cait’s life revolves around her mobile bookshop. But as the last bookshop in the CBD where high-end retailers have taken over, she is struggling to keep the business afloat. While profits might be small, her clients are loyal – but when James breezes into Book Fiend, Cait begins to realise that life might hold more than her business and her cat. As the new romance distracts her, a more personal tragedy is looming and the future of Book Fiend looks less certain than ever.

‘The Last Bookshop is a gem of a book, and indeed a book for all book lovers.’
