THE BOOKSHOP ON THE CORNER

What does 29-year-old Nina Redmond, a British librarian, do when budget cuts take her job and close the libraries? Why, she moves to the Highlands of Scotland and opens a bookstore on wheels, continuing to match the perfect book with the perfect reader. Narrator Lucy Price-Lewis creates a comfortable atmosphere as she brings these characters to life. In spite of a slow start with an overly long author's note identifying ways and places to read, the story is an entertaining look at the power of the right book in the right hands at the right time. Price-Lewis moves easily from British accents to Scots brogues. She gives Nina a believable mix of confidence and uncertainty as she finds a new path.
