A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with
an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret
friendship with Charlotte Terrington…until the reality of the Great War
sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars
of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen
away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the
hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a
recluse within its walls.
When the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she
knew she was destined for a loveless match. Though her heart had chosen
another long ago, she pledges her future even as her husband goes to
war. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow who divides
her days between her late husband’s declining estate and operating a
quaint Coventry bookshop—Eden Books, lovingly named after her grown
daughter. And Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the
lane.
As war with Hitler looms, Eden is determined to preserve her father’s
legacy. So when an American solicitor arrives threatening a lawsuit
that could destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to preserve,
mother and daughter prepare to fight back. But with devastation wrought
by the Luftwaffe’s local blitz terrorizing the skies, battling
bookshops—and lost loves, Amos and Charlotte—must put aside their
differences and fight together to help Coventry survive.
From deep in the trenches of the Great War to the storied English
countryside and the devastating Coventry Blitz of World War II, The
British Booksellers explores the unbreakable bonds that unite us
through love, loss, and the enduring solace that can be found between
the pages of a book.
