A friend who's had a bad year asked me to look for Historical Romance fiction for her. I found these two books in an "utterly captivating" trilogy by Jennifer Donnelly that I think she will very much enjoy ... Only one problem, book 2, THE WINTER ROSE, is missing 😉

I am hopeful though, it is somewhere in hiding, eventually it will come into our bookshop! 🤓🤩

PS. Aren't the covers gorgeous? ❤️❤️❤️

The unexpected gifts - messages in a bottle - that sometimes arrive with special old books that have been part of people's lives...

Winter is the best time to come book hunting! All books in our bookshop on DARG premises. All proceeds to the animals! 🐾 🐕😻
PS. Safe parking and a coffeeshop inside the gates. 🚘 ☕️
