In postwar London, booksellers Vivien, Grace, and Evie are tired of running male-dominated, old-fashioned (or outdated) Bloomsbury Books from behind the scenes, so they bind together to take over the business and bring the store in line with society's changing values. Natalie Jenner highlights the workplace inequalities the women face while also giving her characters the opportunity to make a change for the better, making this a powerful and heartwarming read.
