A fantastic read’????? Review: Cheap pirated copy - 1⭐ is for the quality of the book Martha has escaped from an abusive home, seeking refuge in Madame Bowden's house as a housekeeper. Henry is a Ph.D. student who is in a quest for an old lost manuscript, and a lost bookshop. When, the two strangers end up in search of a lost bookshop, which should have been next door to Madame Bowden's house, but isn't! However fate intertwines their paths in the search of the lost bookshop and missing manuscript. The secret becomes more intricate and profound as they begin to unravel it. What secret does the bookshop hold? This book is a charming novel blended with magical realism, historical fiction, bibliophilia, and romance. The story follows three main protagonists which are set in Dublin, London and Paris. It has multiple POVs with a dual timeline; it is narrated back and forth at alternative chapters. Opaline, is a headstrong character who built her own dream against all odds. Martha's character was a polar opposite to Opaline, she was naive and a girl with dreams, holding up to herself. Henry's character was full of ambition and charming. Madame Bowden is my favourite side character, she is quirky and mysterious. The character development was great, and the readers will get to know them throughout the book. The plot and the world build up was impeccable, with unexpected twists and turns. The magical element was subtle and charming. The author's writing was lyrical and whimsical. She also highlights female liberation, domestic abuse, healing and loss. The author was excellent at weaving stories inside a story. I love how beautifully she involved classical literature and those authors in it, which literally gave life to the plot. It was a heartwarming and heartbreaking read. Overall, I devoured every page of this book Review: The Lost Bookshop 🌿 - The story follows three characters Opaline, Martha, and Henry each carrying their own struggles and searching for something in life. What connects them all is this hidden, magical bookshop📖 that seems to appear when you need it most.✨ What I loved most is how seamlessly past and present were connected ,Opaline’s mysterious story gave the novel a historical depth, while Martha and Henry brought warmth, hope, and healing🩷. The writing felt comforting also carries depth simple enough to read easily , Honestly, I was hoping for a little more magical realism, but aside from that, it was a lovely read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,932 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Romantic Comedy (Books) #32 in Myths, Legends & Sagas #52 in Historical Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 162,437 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lost Bookshop - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Sy3S-198L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap pirated copy *by I***E on 19 July 2024* 1⭐ is for the quality of the book Martha has escaped from an abusive home, seeking refuge in Madame Bowden's house as a housekeeper.
