Books can change lives, even in wartime. . . When World War II breaks out, Carrie Anderson sets up a bookstall at her local train station in the hope of providing a sense of escapism for travellers, troops and evacuees. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and armed with a colourful array of Penguin paperbacks, Carrie's business soon booms. And when she gifts a book to a dashing officer, an act of kindness becomes the beginning of Carrie's very own love story. But as war rages on, and Mike is posted abroad, Carrie's world is turned upside-down. With the help of her station community, and the power of her paperbacks, can Carrie find the strength to battle through? ________________________ Praise for The Little Penguin Bookshop 'Romance, nostalgia, family, and books!
