When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there’s a birthday gift from her husband waiting for her at her local bookshop, it couldn’t come as more of a shock. Partly because she can’t remember the last time she read a book for pleasure. But mainly because Joe died five months ago….
Wow! What a fabulous idea. Joe left a book a month for his wife for a whole year after he died. He knew she would be having some major issues dealing with her grief. This gave her a reason to get out and get on with her life. And what adventures Tilly experienced because of these books! Tilly is an introvert and these books help her through the grieving process and it shows what love Joe really had for her.
This book is heart warming and so enjoyable. It made me smile…especially when she went camping in Scotland!
