{"product_id":"the-last-bookshop-in-london","title":"The Last Bookshop in London","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by the true World War II history of the few bookshops to survive the Blitz, The Last Bookshop in London is a timeless story of wartime loss, love and the enduring power of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAugust 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler’s forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she’s always dreamed of — and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she’d wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city — after all, she’s never been much of a reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverwhelmed with organizing the cluttered store, she doesn’t have time to read the books she sells. But when one is gifted to her, what starts as an obligation becomes a passion that draws her into the incredible world of literature. As the Blitz rains down bombs on the city night after night, a devastating attack leaves the libraries and shops of London’s literary center in ruins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiraculously, Grace’s bookshop survives the firestorm. Through blackouts and air raids, Grace continues running the shop, discovering a newfound comfort in the power of words and storytelling that unites her community in ways she never imagined — a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of war-torn London.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madeline Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43348421542057,"sku":"9781867231912","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781867231912.jpg?v=1698792752","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-last-bookshop-in-london","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
