The Bookshop Sisters

Sarah Webb

A story of sisterhood, secrets and standing up for what you believe in from the award-winning author of The Little Bee Charmer of Henrietta Street and The Weather Girls

It's 1956. When thirteen-year-old bookworm Rosy Heron and her big sister Martha are sent to Dublin to help their aunt Toto in her busy bookshop for the summer, their quiet lives change overnight.

Baggot Books is right in the bohemian centre of the city - buzzing with artists, writers and theatre folks - and the sisters quickly become part of the team, as junior booksellers and delivery girls.

The bookshop is also full of secrets. Where does Aunt Toto disappear to at night, and what exactly is happening in the basement of the shop? Rosy is determined to solve the mystery, but she's not the only one interested in the goings on in Baggot Books ...
