Inspired by the true World War II history of the few bookshops to survive the Blitz, The Last Bookshop in London is a timeless story of wartime loss, love and the enduring power of literature.

August 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and blackout curtains that she finds on her arrival were not what she expected. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.

Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed—a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war.

I randomly picked this audiobook from my library because I needed something to listen to on a drive. I didn’t know anything about it, but it’s about a bookshop, so why not?

t’s been a long time since I read a hyped up book that was worth the hype, but this one did. The author created a perfect blend of character development with setting with plot that drew me into the book and kept me engaged through the entire story. I smiled. I cried. I swooned.

A realistic look at the horrific side of war but also hope in humanity and the strength to endure. I will recommend this book often.

Rated PG for war content.
