Joskus elämä ohjaa juuri sinne, missä sinun kuuluukin olla.
Faith Hoganin Kirjakaupan naiset on hyvän mielen tarina ikäerot ylittävästä ystävyydestä ja salaperäisestä maalauksesta, josta kaikki alkoi.
Pariisissa asuvalla Joy Blackwoodilla ei ole aavistustakaan, miksi hänen edesmennyt taidekauppiasaviomiehensä on testamentannut arvokkaan maalauksen Robyn Tessierille, tuntemattomalle nuorelle naiselle. Selvittääkseen asian Joy matkustaa Ballycoveen, Irlannin karunkauniille länsirannikolle.
Robyn on kylän kirjakauppias, joka yrittää pitää pystyssä tappiollista putiikkiaan, selviytyä särkyneestä sydämestä ja pitää haaveensa hengissä. Joy puolestaan on tottunut järjestykseen ja varmuuteen – ja nyt hän löytääkin itsensä keskeltä kirjakaupan kaaosta, kyläläisten mutkattomuutta ja elämäniloa, jota hän ei tiennyt kaipaavansa.
Joy ja Robyn ystävystyvät ja saavat yhdessä kirjakaupan askelen eteenpäin kohti menestystä. Samalla Joy kiintyy Ballycoven yhteisöön ja maalauksen salaisuuden paljastaminen käy yhä haastavammaksi. Mutta salaisuudet eivät pysy ikuisesti piilossa – eivätkä sydämet aina tottele järkeä.
Faith Hogan on palkittu irlantilainen kirjailija, jonka inspiroivia hyvän mielen romaaneja on myyty miljoonia kappaleita. Hogan asuu Irlannin länsirannikolla perheensä ja labradorinnoutaja Pennyn kanssa. Hän on innokas koiranulkoiluttaja ja vastahakoinen juoksija – paitsi tietysti sateella! Kirjakaupan naiset on ensimmäinen häneltä suomennettu kirja.
