The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay

Is there an author you want to read every book they’ve written? After I read The London House, I knew I wanted to read every book by Katherine Reay.  So I’m making my way through her books.  The Printed Letter Bookshop was next on my list and it did not disappoint.  It’s a warm cozy read about legacies, friendships, and the power of books.  

Madeline inherits a small bookshop from her estranged Aunt Maddie.  Madeline has a career as an attorney through so she decides she will sell the bookshop and continue her life as usual.  Due to a setback at work she stays longer than intended trying to get The Printed Letter in better shape to be able to sell it.  

The employees at The Printed Letter, Claire and Janet become much more than employees to Madeline.  Although Madeline is the main character, the chapters alternate from her point of view to also that of Claire and Janet.  All three are facing life issues and changes.  Each one of them has their problems but figure out the burden lessons when they let others help them. 

I was very jealous of Madeline’s character getting to inherit a bookshop.  Well, I was jealous until …. I won’t spoil the story.  But I’ve wanted to open a bookshop in our town.  And there’s this cute little house on Main Street that I thought would be perfect.  So here’s a picture of The Printed Letter Bookshop in front of the house I think would make a perfect bookshop.
