Lost for Words

I enjoyed Lost for Words by Stephanie Butland which is mainly set in a second-hand book shop - and don't we all love book shops!  Loveday Cardew works in a bookshop, the ideal job for her as she prefers books to people.  She is the narrator and we soon discover she has a mysterious past.  Part of that past is told in flashbacks.  In the present Loveday finds a book near a bus stop and puts a card in the window of the book shop saying it's been found.  The result is inevitable and life-changing for Loveday.  Her boss is a great character who had taken Loveday under his wing.  It's a lovely story. Recommended. 4/5
