Hypothesis 'I loved it ' Hannah Tovey 'Heartwarming, gorgeously
written and I fell instantly in love with the quirky cast of
characters' Jessica Ryn 'A must-read' Sarah J. Harris When Libby
Nicholls arrives in London, broken-hearted and with her life in
tatters, the first person she meets on the bus is elderly pensioner
Frank. He tells her about the time in 1962 he met a girl on the
number 88 bus with beautiful red hair just like her own. They made
plans for a date, but Frank lost the ticket with her number written
on it. For the past sixty years, he's ridden the same bus trying to
find her. Libby is inspired by the story and, with the help of an
unlikely companion, she makes it her mission to continue Frank's
search. As she begins to open her guarded heart to strangers and
new connections, Libby's tightly controlled world expands. But with
Frank's dementia progressing quickly, their chance of finding the
girl on the 88 bus is slipping away . . . More than anything, Libby
wants Frank to see his lost love one more time. But their quest
also shows Libby just how important it is to embrace her own chance
for happiness - before it's too late. The author of The Last
Library brings us this beautifully uplifting novel about how one
chance meeting can change the course of your life forever

about a person from the library books they borrow Library assistant
June knows a lot about the regulars at Chalcot Library, yet they
know very little about her. When her mum - the beloved local
librarian - passed away eight years ago, June stepped into her
shoes. But despite their shared love of books, shy June has never
felt she can live up to the village's memory of her mum. Instead,
she's retreated into herself and her memories, surviving on Chinese
takeaways-for-one and rereading their favourite books at home. When
the library is threatened with closure, a ragtag band of eccentric
locals establish the Friends of Chalcot Library campaign. There's
gentlemanly pensioner Stanley, who visits the library for the
computers and the crosswords, cantankerous Mrs B, who is yet to
find a book she approves of, and teenager Chantal, who just wants a
quiet place to study away from home. But can they compel reclusive
June to join their cause? If June wants to save the library, she
finally has to make some changes to her life: opening up her heart
to friendship, opportunities and maybe even more . . .
