About this book

Loveday Cardew's Lost for Words bookshop in York has closed during a crisis, at a time when people need books most. A letter arrives from Rosemary and George, a couple married for fifty years who are spending their final days together on a bench in their Whitby garden. They seek someone who shares their love of books. Realizing her team can help, Loveday begins recommending books to customers facing specific challenges: fear, boredom, loneliness, and the need for escape or laughter. Through this effort, the bookshop becomes a way to heal and support the community during difficult times.
