1950s London. Bloomsbury Books on Lamb's Conduit Street has
resisted change for a hundred years, run by men and guided by the
manager's unbreakable rules. But after the turmoil of war in
Europe, the world is changing and the women in the shop have plans.
The brilliant and stylish Vivien Lowry, still grieving her fiance
who was killed in action, has a long list of grievances, the
biggest of which is Alec McDonough, the head of fiction. Loyal
Grace Perkins is torn between duty and dreams of her own while
struggling to support her family following her husband's breakdown.
Fiercely bright Evie Stone was one of the first female Cambridge
students to earn a degree, but was denied an academic position in
favour of a less accomplished male rival. Now she plans to remake
her own future. As these Bloomsbury Girls interact with literary
figures of the time, among them Daphne du Maurier, Samuel Beckett
and Peggy Guggenheim, Vivien, Grace and Evie plot out a richer and
more rewarding future.
