A timeless tale of love, grief, and the everlasting power of reading set in World War II London, The Last Bookshop is inspired by the actual story of the few booksellers that survived the Blitz.
August 1939: As Hitler's soldiers ravage Europe, London gets ready for war. Although Grace Bennett had always desired to relocate to a metropolis, she was unprepared for the bunkers and blackout curtains she discovered upon her arrival. She also had no idea that she would end herself employed at Primrose Hill, a dilapidated bookstore tucked away in the centre of London.
Grace learns that storytelling has the ability to bring her community together in ways she never would have imagined—a force that prevails even on the worst days of the war—through blackouts and air attacks as the Blitz becomes worse.
