Lost For Words by Stephanie ButlandMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am always attracted to books that have a bookshop theme. Lost For Words is a great name for an independent shop, of which there are too few remaining nowadays. Loveday Cardew works in this York emporium. An independent woman who loves books, indeed has the first lines of several books tattooed on her body. She has a vulnerable side, a past she does not want to talk about.
Archie, who owns the shop, is a sensitive man who cares a great deal for Loveday and wonders about her past. Her father is dead, the whereabouts of her mother unknown. Or so it appears. Nathan is a poet, who becomes more than a friend to Loveday and helps in his own way as past events begin to come clearer….
A complex multi-layered story that is beautifully written as it slowly reveals events in Loveday’s past that help her come to terms with her childhood memories. An intriguing tale that draws you in…
