Book Description:

In 1921, Opaline flees England before her older brother can force her to marry a man she doesn't love. Soon, the girl finds a job in a Parisian bookstore and meets a charismatic stranger who makes her feel the thrill of first love. But as her family, her own naivety, and the horrors of war threaten to take everything she loves most in the world, a valuable manuscript could save her life. Or destroy it.

In the present, Martha, a young Irish woman, manages to escape her abusive husband and takes a job as a housekeeper for Madame Bowden, an eccentric old woman with a sharp tongue. Martha has never been particularly interested in books, but they keep appearing as if by magic in her basement apartment…

Henry, an ambitious PhD student, is searching for Emily Brontë's lost manuscript. His research brings him to Dublin and – in a not-so-unhumorous way – to Martha's window, who might hold both the key to solving a hundred-year-old literary enigma and the key to his heart.

For too long, Opaline, Martha, and Henry have been secondary characters in their own lives. But after discovering a magical bookstore that appears and disappears in unexpected ways, the three unwitting strangers will understand that their stories are as extraordinary as those in the books they love so much.
