The Second Chance Bookshop

A new chapter begins when you turn the page.

Imogen has given up on men and London, and moved back to Broadway in the Cotswolds to live out her dream of opening her own bookshop.

Joanna's children have flown the nest, and now she finds herself confronted with a life she'd previously been able to ignore.

Geri is back in Broadway for her mother, whose Alzheimer's diagnosis has taken a rapid decline and is threatening to strip Geri of her freedom.

Moving back to Broadway was never part of Kimberley's plan. But with her career - and life - up in flames, at least it offers an escape from the scandal and gossip.

Soon, Imogen's bookshop - and its monthly book club - becomes a lifeline for the four friends; a place to reconnect over their shared love of books, a soft landing when life feels difficult, and a reminder that every new beginning starts with a small act of courage.

Escape to the picturesque Cotswolds in this big-hearted and life-affirming story of second chances, female friendship and the healing power of books and the communities that form around them. If you love Milly Johnson, Helen Rolfe and Stephanie Butland, you won't want to miss The Second Chance Bookshop.
