A magical book about a manuscript which may or may not exist and a bookstore that may or may not exist. It is also a story of women surviving especially with nasty family members. This book is about live, magic, the power of books, and purpose

This is a book that is hard to define. I enjoyed it, although the stretching of reality was not easy to wrap my head around. I also had to make notes about the characters in the beginning since I kept confusing who lived when and where. I enjoyed the stories of the different characters.

This book should have had another run by an editor. It had many typos and could have been about 100 pages less. So many things felt contrived and the relationships were shallow and rushed.

Cozy read with a touch of mysticism. I'd like to explore a shop like this. Recommended by a friend.
