This months book will be making its way to you as I write this if you are part of our Book Club.

Happy reading in whichever format you receive your book. Here is a brief description of what the story is about ...

Evelyn Seaton has lost her life and home due to her father's gambling addiction. When she secretly answers an advertisement for an assistant at a forgotten bookshop in York, she is not the only one with something to hide. There she meets the enigmatic and prickly William Morton, an aspiring writer keeping secrets of his own. But when the walls that Evelyn has built around herself start to crumble, there is only one person she can turn to. Can Evelyn and William find the courage to write the next chapter of their story?

Please do write your comments on here ... 

Look forward to catching up with everyone next month to discuss on 16 February 2026 from 1930 till 2100.

    I was away at my brothers last night and completely forgot it was book club until about 9.30 - sorry!

    I have enjoyed 'The Lamplighters Bookshop' I felt the story unfolded a bit too slowly and then a bit too rushed at the end. It took me a few attempted to really get into the book and invest in the storyline. I really liked the main character - evelyn and felt she was determined and resourceful but I wasn't too keen on many of the other characters. It was nice to read a historical book, without the history!
