I have been “reading” this book in its audio edition.  A British novel, a British audiobook narrator; what could be better?  This is a charming story about the kind of store where a bibliophile would find bliss.  Well curated, family run, a good selection in stock and in a lovely town; indeed a perfect shop.  The stories of several characters are interwoven.  A really nice read to enjoy during the frantic holiday season.
