Nina has troubles. She's just lost her job. She's lost her home. She doesn't know what to do next.

And then she gets a crazy idea. What would happen if she bought a ramshackle van, loaded it up with books, and set up a portable bookshop?

She does and it's wildly successful and lots of other absurdly improbable things happen but it's all good because we want it to happen; we want her to find happiness and change the world one book at a time.

It's not realistic fiction but it's a nice summer read.
