The wonderfully nostalgic, vivid and compelling new novel from the
Sunday Times top five bestselling author of A Loving Family. From
the age of eight, sixteen-year-old Charity Crosse has been living
rough with her grandfather and begging on the streets. When he
grandfather passes away, Charity is helped by a kindly doctor who
introduces her to bookseller, Jethro Dawkins. Jethro takes Charity
in to help in his bookshop and keep house in their one room behind
the shop. Charity sleeps under the counter and is not well treated,
but Jethro instills in her the love of books that began when her
grandmother taught her to read. And she starts to hope for a better
future for herself. But Jethro dies unexpectedly, and Charity is
faced with eviction when the rent is raised by the unscrupulous
landlord. Must Charity give up her dream of running the bookshop
herself, and worse, be forced to return to the streets...?
