About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Bookshop Ladies by Faith Hogan, read by Flora Montgomery.

A captivating read, written with warmth and elegance, The Bookshop Ladies is the perfect escape!' Evie Woods, author of The Lost Bookshop

***

From bestselling Irish writer, Faith Hogan, comes another gripping saga of friendship, betrayal and secrets in this story of a widow in search of answers to a shocking confession by her dying husband.

Joy Blackwood has no idea why her French art dealer husband has left a valuable painting to a woman called Robyn Tessier in Ballycove, a small town on the west coast of Ireland, but she is determined to find out.

She arrives in Ballycove to find that Robyn runs a rather chaotic and unprofitable bookshop. She is shy, suffering from unrequited love for dashing Kian, and badly in need of advice on how to make the bookshop successful.

As Joy becomes entangled in the daily dramas of Ballycove, uncovering the secrets behind her husband's painting grows increasingly challenging. When she finally musters the courage to confront the truth, her revelation sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community she's grown to love.

Easy read

I usually enjoy stories read by Irish men and women as, being an insomniac, I listen during night and find them relaxing.

Beautiful story

I loved all these books that centered around Ballycove. I will miss all the lovely characters I've met through Faith Hogan's books. Please keep these stories coming about people we all can relate to and share with all their emotions.
