A woman inherits a beloved bookstore and sets forth on a journey of self-discovery in this poignant debut about family, forgiveness and a love of reading.
Miranda Brooks grew up in the stacks of her eccentric Uncle Billyโs bookstore, solving the inventive scavenger hunts he created just for her. But on Mirandaโs twelfth birthday, Billy has a mysterious falling-out with her mother and suddenly disappears from Mirandaโs life. She doesnโt hear from him again until sixteen years later when she receives unexpected news: Billy has died and left her Prospero Books, which is teetering on bankruptcyโand one final scavenger hunt.
When Miranda returns home to Los Angeles and to Prospero Booksโnow as its ownerโshe finds clues that Billy has hidden for her inside novels on the storeโs shelves, in locked drawers of his apartment upstairs, in the name of the store itself. Miranda becomes determined to save Prospero Books and to solve Billyโs last scavenger hunt. She soon finds herself drawn into a journey where she meets people from Billyโs past, people whose stories reveal a history that Mirandaโs mother has kept hiddenโand the terrible secret that tore her family apart.
Bighearted and trenchantly observant, The Bookshop of Yesterdays is a lyrical story of family, love and the healing power of community. Itโs a love letter to reading and bookstores, and a testament to how our histories shape who we become.
