About the Book

The Bookshop on the Corner

Nina Redmond is a librarian with a gift for finding the perfect book for her readers. But can she write her own happy-ever-after? In this valentine to readers, librarians and booklovers the world over, the New York Times bestselling author of LITTLE BEACH STREET BAKERY returns with a funny, moving new novel for fans of Meg Donohue, Sophie Kinsella and Nina George’s THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP.

Nina Redmond is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion...and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more.

Determined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile --- a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling. 

From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there’s plenty of adventure, magic and soul in a place that’s beginning to feel like home…a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.
