BOOK SYNOPSIS
A woman receives an unexpected gift from the man she loved and lost - a year of books, one for every month - launching a reading-inspired journey to live, dream, and love again in this glimmering and heart-stopping novel...
Twelve books. Twelve months. One chance to heal her heart…
When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there’s a birthday gift from her husband waiting for her at her local bookshop, it couldn’t come as more of a shock. Partly because she can’t remember the last time she read a book for pleasure. But mainly because Joe died five months ago....
When she goes to pick up the present, Alfie, the bookshop owner with kind eyes, explains the gift - twelve carefully chosen books with handwritten letters from Joe, one for each month, to help her turn the page on her first year without him.
At first Tilly can’t imagine sinking into a fictional world, but Joe’s tender words convince her to try, and something remarkable happens - Tilly becomes immersed in the pages, and a new chapter begins to unfold in her own life. Monthly trips to the bookstore - and heartfelt conversations with Alfie - give Tilly the comfort she craves and the courage to set out on a series of reading-inspired adventures that take her around the world. But as she begins to share her journey with others, her story - like a book - becomes more than her own.
