bandherbooks 's review for:
The Bookshop on the Corner
by Jenny Colgan
A charming, if predictable, tale of a librarian who loses her job due to budget cuts but finds a new career and love in the Highlands of Scotland.
Luckily for Nina, she finds a lot of help and goodwill on her journey to becoming a mobile van driving bookseller (which got a bit old), but overall this was a fun, quick read with one of the best paragraph descriptions of Scotland I have recently read.
I have to complain a bit about the title and the cover of this novel. There is NO bookshop on the corner - the bookshop is a van - and the picture on the ARC I received is of a classic bookshop window. I think something a bit more clever could be used to help really sell the story.
