The Little Penguin Bookshop

English

By (author): Joanna Toye

Books can change lives, even in wartime. . .

When World War II breaks out, Carrie Anderson sets up a bookstall at her local train station in the hope of providing a sense of escapism for travellers, troops and evacuees.

Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and armed with a colourful array of Penguin paperbacks, Carries business soon booms. And when she gifts a book to a dashing officer, an act of kindness becomes the beginning of Carries very own love story.

But as war rages on, and Mike is posted abroad, Carries world is turned upside-down.

With the help of her station community, and the power of her paperbacks, can Carrie find the strength to battle through?
