The Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts
What you need to know before your trail
Once upon a time in a crumbling London bookshop, Posy Morland spent her life lost in the pages of her favourite romantic novels.
So when Bookend’s eccentric owner, Lavinia, dies and leaves the shop to Posy, she must put down her books and join the real world. Because Posy hasn’t just inherited an ailing business, but also the unwelcome attentions of Lavinia’s grandson, Sebastian, AKA The Rudest Man In London™.
Travel Guide
Travel and discover London via books and bookshops!
For what better way is there to see a city when you think about it? There’s no Bookends in Bloomsbury sadly but this is the book haven of the publishing world so there is a grain of truth in there. The best way to enjoy this book is to visit a few small bookshops in London and then build up a picture of Bookends for yourself as the book draws a magical picture..
Daunt books – 84 Marylebone High Street, London W1U 4QW, UK – for example is not crumbling like Bookends but it does have the charm and the smell of books like the one in the novel.
In the novel, the shop Bookends is firmly entrenched in the Bloomsbury area of the city which is traditionally the literary centre of the city. It could be in close to Bloomsbury Square as this is the oldest Square in the city so there’s heritage and history right there!
