The Love Scribe
From the bestselling author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays comes a charming novel about a woman with a special gift—her stories help people fall in love.
When Alice’s best friend, Gabby, is reeling from a breakup, Alice writes her a heartfelt story to cheer her up. While reading it in a café, Gabby, as if by magic, meets the man of her dreams. Thinking the story might have some special power to it, Gabby shares it with her sister and other friends, who all find instant love. Word of mouth spreads, and Alice stumbles upon a new calling—to be a love scribe.
But not all the love stories she writes unfold as expected. And while Alice tries to harness her extraordinary gift, she is summoned to a mansion in the woods where she encounters the reclusive Madeline Alger and her mysterious library. As Alice struggles to write a story for Madeline, her most challenging assignment yet, she’s forced to confront her own guarded heart. Because maybe—just maybe—there’s a love story waiting to be written for her, too.
Emotional, deeply imaginative and brimming with valuable life lessons, The Love Scribe explores love, fate and the power of stories when we choose to believe in them.
Amy Meyerson
Amy Meyerson writes novels that feel like conversations overheard in a favorite place, intimate, curious and full of unspoken history. Her stories often begin with a simple object or a chance discovery, a stack of old letters, a family heirloom, a quiet bookstore, and from there they widen into explorations of how the past shapes the present. Readers met her voice for the first time in The Bookshop of Yesterdays, a warm literary mystery set among dusty shelves and complicated relatives, and the book quickly found audiences around the world. Translated into multiple languages and embraced by book clubs, it announced the arrival of a writer drawn to puzzles of memory as much as the emotional lives behind them.
