Sara Gio’s new novel is about family secrets, love revelations, and fateful decisions. A bookshop received as an inheritance will flip the page of a new story.
Our days. Valentina learns that her mother Eloisa left her a house in London. Their relationship with her mother has been broken for a long time, so Valentina isn’t interested in the inheritance. But it turns out the house contains a bookstore; nice neighbors live nearby; and Eloisa had a secret from her daughter—one that Valentina begins to uncover by finding meaningful hints from her mother.
1968. Eloisa shares a rented apartment with a friend and dreams of opening a bookstore. One day she meets Edward—a young man who seems very pleasant but mysterious. Unfortunately, after one of the meetings, Edward disappears. It becomes a turning point in Eloisa’s fate—something that she herself, at first, doesn’t even suspect.
