The Book Lover

By: Maryann McFadden

Narrated by: Jo Fuller

10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH NEW AUTHOR'S NOTE!

In The Book Lover, a charming bookshop in the village of Warwick, New York, the best stories may not be in the pages of its books, but in the lives of the people who walk through its doors. Owner Ruth Hardaway has been handselling books in her store, The Book Lover, for years. Her gift isn't just finding the right books for her quirky cast of patrons, its also helping them to navigate the unexpected chapters in their own lives. When author Lucy Barrett lands on her doorstep for a book signing, only to collapse in a meltdown, Ruth is about to become a heroine in a story she never could have imagined. As for Lucy, who's left a terrible betrayal behind, she's about to encounter a plot twist she couldn't have written when Ruth's son, a disabled vet who rescues injured raptors, causes her to question everything she thought she wanted.

Lovely story with a fantastic narrator!

This was such a beautiful, well rounded story that had me laughing and clutching my pearls at times. It explores grief and loss and love and hope and the rationale behind one’s actions, I absolutely loved this book. The narrator did such a good job of telling and relaying thoughts and meanings in the story. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and this has been one of my favorite narrators! Some narrators do too much and it pulls you out of the story, but not this one. Her soft and melodic tone pulled me deeper into the story with every chapter. Will definitely recommend to other audiobook lovers!!
