När Alice anländer till den lilla byn Churchwood har Andra världskriget precis brutit ut. Med sig i bagaget har hon både en skadad hand och ett krossat hjärta. Hon drömmer om att kunna klara sig själv, men fruktar att hennes skavanker kommer att stå i vägen.

På Brimbles Farm arbetar Kate från morgon till kväll och blir behandlad som en tjänsteflicka av sin far och sina bröder. Modern dog för flera år sedan, och hon har varken systrar eller väninnor i byn. Hon längtar efter någon som vill vara hennes vän.

Naomi blir avundad för sitt vackra hus och sitt till synes perfekta liv. Men bakom fasaden döljer hon sorgen över att inte ha fått barn med sin make, som aldrig riktigt har tid för henne längre.

Medan kriget rasar på andra sidan Engelska kanalen måste kvinnorna i Churchwood kämpa sina egna strider. Och kanske kan just gemenskapen – och kärleken till böcker – bli det som binder dem samman.

Bokhandeln i Churchwood är första delen i Lesley Eames hjärtevärmande serie om gemenskap, kvinnoliv och vänskap under andra världskriget.
