Bloomsbury Girls

With a gripping and endearing tale of post-war London, a century-old bookshop, and three women trying to make their place in a world that is changing quickly, the critically acclaimed author of The Jane Austen Society makes a triumphant comeback.

For a century and counting, Bloomsbury Books has stood the test of time as an old-fashioned, new and rare book business operated by men under the unwavering fifty-one regulations of the general manager. However, the world is changing in 1950, particularly the publishing and book industries, and the girls working at Bloomsbury Books have big plans:

The Vivien Lowry After her noble fiancé was killed in combat during World War II, Vivien, who is intelligent and fashionable, had a lengthy number of grievances, the most significant of which is against Alec McDonough, Head of Fiction.

Grace Perkins: Married and the mother of two boys, she has been trying to provide for the family since her husband's breakdown during the war. torn between her own aspirations and her family's needs.

Evie Stone: She was passed over for an academic post in favor of her less accomplished male adversary in the first class of female Cambridge students to be granted a degree. She is now employed at Bloomsbury Books and has aspirations to reimagine her own destiny.

Through their interactions with prominent writers of the era, such as Daphne Du Maurier, Ellen Doubleday, Sonia Blair (George Orwell's widow), Samuel Beckett, Peggy Guggenheim, and others, these three women, with their intricate web of relationships, objectives, and aspirations, are striving to chart a more fulfilling and rich future than what society will permit.
