London, autumn 1940: the Blitz has only just begun when Grace Bennett arrives in London to find the city she's spent a lifetime dreaming about now cast in the clouds of war, and all of her plans unraveling at the seams. After accepting a job at a charming bookshop nestled in the heart of the city, a haven for literary-minded locals, she feels like a fish out of water; she's never been much of a reader, after all.
As the bombs rain down on the city night after night, a devastating air raid leaves
London's literary center in ruins, and the libraries and shops of Paternoster Row are destroyed in a firestorm.
But against all odds, one bookshop miraculously survives.
Through blackouts and air raids, Grace continues staffing the shop, discovering a newfound comfort in the power of words and storytelling to unite her community in ways she never imagined, a power that triumphs even the darkest nights of war-torn London.
