8 / 10

Evie Woods’ The Lost Bookshop is a story of magical realism that spans two different eras. In the 1920s, Opaline takes control of her own life, but the attitudes of the time toward women present obstacles for her. In the present day, Martha, fleeing an abusive husband, and Henry, searching for a lost manuscript, meet. All three main characters are united by their love of books. Emily Brontë features prominently, as does a mysterious library that appears and disappears. There are just the right amount of plot twists, without any over-the-top romance, and I liked the outcome.
