The Love Scribe

By: Amy Meyerson

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

From the bestselling author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays comes a charming novel about a woman with a special gift—her stories help people fall in love.

When Alice’s best friend, Gabby, is reeling from a breakup, Alice writes her a heartfelt story to cheer her up. While reading it in a café, Gabby, as if by magic, meets the man of her dreams. Thinking the story might have some special power to it, Gabby shares it with her sister and other friends, who all find instant love. Word of mouth spreads, and Alice stumbles upon a new calling—to be a love scribe.

But not all the love stories she writes unfold as expected. And while Alice tries to harness her extraordinary gift, she is summoned to a mansion in the woods where she encounters the reclusive Madeline Alger and her mysterious library. As Alice struggles to write a story for Madeline, her most challenging assignment yet, she’s forced to confront her own guarded heart. Because maybe—just maybe—there’s a love story waiting to be written for her, too.

Emotional, deeply imaginative and brimming with valuable life lessons, The Love Scribe explores love, fate and the power of stories when we choose to believe in them.

A wonderful story with well developed characters

The story kept me very engaged, which is sometimes difficult to do. I live a very busy life and yet when I was reading my way through this book I didn’t wanna miss a single moment.

Great Narration but . . . . .

Julia Whelan was excellent as usual, but the storyline was lacking. The ending was such a disappointment. I feel like I wasted a credit on this one.

Original premise and great narration

Such an original idea with wonderful characters, enough intrigue to satisfy and a healthy dose of magic. Sounds like a great recipe for life too, not just love.

Not what I was expecting!!

This is a new author to me and I listened to it because of the narrator, Julia Whelan. This is the first Magical realism story I have listened to. It was so engaging and well written. There was suspense, sadness, happy endings, wonder and of course love. There is stories within the stories of people, including the Heroine that are not embracing their gifts in life and are stuck. So many twists in the story, not what I was expecting. I recommend this listen.

Meaning of love!

My favorite narrator, she has a very good voice and is so easy to understand!
