Acerca de esta escucha

A heartwarming story about a mother and daughter in wartime England and the power of books that bring them together, by the bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London.

In Nottingham, England, widow Emma Taylor finds herself in desperate need of a job. She and her beloved daughter Olivia have always managed just fine on their own, but with the legal restrictions prohibiting widows with children from most employment opportunities, she’s left with only one option: persuading the manageress at Boots’ Booklover’s Library to take a chance on her with a job.

When the threat of war in England becomes a reality, Olivia must be evacuated to the countryside. In the wake of being separated from her daughter, Emma seeks solace in the unlikely friendships she forms with her neighbors and coworkers, and a renewed sense of purpose through the recommendations she provides to the library’s quirky regulars. But the job doesn’t come without its difficulties. Books are mysteriously misshelved and disappearing and the work at the lending library forces her to confront the memories of her late father and the bookstore they once owned together before a terrible accident.

As the Blitz intensifies in Nottingham and Emma fights to reunite with her daughter, she must learn to depend on her community and the power of literature more than ever to find hope in the darkest of times.

Sobering

The book seemed to run on and on without much progress. It could have progressed though some of the bombings a little faster. Although sobering of what the people went through and I admit it was hard but for a novel I would liked more stories about the happenings in the library.

My new favorite book of the year!

I loved the progressive character development as the story unfolds. The more I read, the more they hooked me in. I imagine for a mother or someone who wants to be a mother one day, this book would really resonate. The mother has very tough choices that have to be made in a time few of us have had to live through. There are also so many feel good moments throughout the book, not just with the daughter, but other characters. Such a great book!

Last call out, Saskia Maarleveld has become my favorite narrator. She and Madeline make a perfect pair in story writer and storyteller. Saskia has narratored for so many great reads. Please keep doing what your doing. Can't wait for the next one!

Like stepping into history

Variety of characters was compelling. Descriptions of locations, households, cultural norma and styles of the period brought the stories to life in a vivid way.

Sweet story

This is a soft look at the life of a widow, single mom during the war. By no means is it filled with dramatic ups and down of a deep look. So don’t expect blood and gore. Lovely sweet gentle story.

Beautiful and Heartfelt

The Booklover’s Library by Madeline Martin was a beautifully written testament to a mother’s love for her child/children and how a single book can turn a person into a lifelong reader!

This is by far my absolute favorite book of 2024! It has all of the feels, the highs and lows, the heartbreak and the happiness of life. Martin’s extensive research into the history surrounding wartime life in England comes shining through in the details of the story. And her characters portray real life experiences in a way that I know to be true, as I’ve seen or experienced them myself. Emma, a single mom, struggles with the choices she has to make for the safety of her daughter, and breaking the rules in order to have a career to provide for her daughter. I’ve watched friends struggle with those same decisions. Watching Olivia find the one book that changes her life, and turns her into a lifelong reader, the same book that also made me a lifelong reader. Another thing I love about Martin’s books are the secondary characters that make them so unique. Mrs. Pickering and Mr. Sanderson at the boarding house. Her co-workers at the Booklover’s library, Mrs. Bainbridge, Margaret and even Miss Crane, as well as the quirky customers, Mr. Beard, Mrs. Chatsworth and Pip, and of course Charles Fisk. I also love that when Emma went to London she found the bookshop on Primrose Hill, and we got to see Grace Bennett and Mr Evans.

All in all it’s just a fabulous book, and the marvelous Saskia Maarleveld, does a magnificent job in narrating the story.
