Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn't come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she knew she was destined for a loveless match. Though her heart had chosen another long ago, she pledges her future even as her husband goes to war. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow who divides her days between her late husband's declining estate and operating a quaint Coventry bookshop--Eden Books, lovingly named after her grown daughter. And Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the lane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs war with Hitler looms, Eden is determined to preserve her father's legacy. So when an American solicitor arrives threatening a lawsuit that could destroy everything they've worked so hard to preserve, mother and daughter prepare to fight back. But with devastation wrought by the Luftwaffe's local blitz terrorizing the skies, battling bookshops--and lost loves, Amos and Charlotte--must put aside their differences and fight together to help Coventry survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom deep in the trenches of the Great War to the storied English countryside and the devastating Coventry Blitz of World War II, \u003cem\u003eThe British Booksellers \u003c\/em\u003eexplores the unbreakable bonds that unite us through love, loss, and the enduring solace that can be found between the pages of a book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit timeline: WWI and WWII\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand-alone novel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook length: 118,000 words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion questions for book clubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 8.38 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42700325421152,"sku":"9780785232247","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-british-booksellers-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
