The Lost Bookshop

There is a bookshop on a street in Dublin. Or so Henry has been told. He thinks he saw it on his first night in town. But did he? And where is it now?

Martha is running away from an abusive husband. She finds refuge in working as a housekeeper to an eccentric old woman. She meets Henry and he shares his quest to find a missing bookshop and to locate a missing Emily Bronte manuscript. Can Martha dare to reveal her secrets to Henry?

Opaline leaves London to flee an arranged marriage in the 1920s. She eventually makes her way to Dublin to run a thrift shop.

The Lost Bookshop weaves the stories of these three characters together, and draws in the stories of the Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris, rare book dealers, and reclusive authors who may have hidden away a second book no one is aware of. There are also mysterious tattoos and the appearance of books on a shelf made from a tree that forms in a house and the lost bookshop itself.
