En savoir plus sur le livre

* Duration: 12:33:52 * Multi-award winning actor Juliet Stevenson narrates this heartwarming audiobook from the internationally best-selling author of 'The Jane Austen Society.' Set in post-war London, the story revolves around a century-old bookstore, Bloomsbury Books, which has resisted change for a hundred years, governed by the general manager's strict fifty-one rules. However, in 1950, as the world of books and publishing evolves, the women at Bloomsbury Books are determined to carve their own paths. Vivien Lowry, stylish and brilliant, grapples with the loss of her fiancé, seeking justice against Alec McDonough, the Head of Fiction. Grace Perkins, married with two sons, struggles to balance her family obligations with her own aspirations after her husband's breakdown. Evie Stone, one of the first female graduates from Cambridge, faces disappointment when denied an academic position in favor of a less qualified male. As they navigate their complex relationships and ambitions, they interact with notable literary figures of the time, including Daphne Du Maurier and Samuel Beckett. Together, these three women strive to create a future that is richer and more fulfilling than what society permits.
