About:
The Great War altered their lives forever. When a new war comes to Coventry, can former loves—and British booksellers—set aside bookshop wars and unite to save their future a second time?

Spring, 1914. It’s been planned from her childhood: Heiress Charlotte Terrington is expected to follow her duty and marry William Holt III, the future Earl of Harcourt and heir to the vast acreage adjoining her family’s Coventry estate. With Will’s proposal, Charlotte must abandon the dream of her youth: to play her beloved cello in the world’s concert halls and to own a bookshop with childhood friend, Amos Darby. But with the prospect of a loveless marriage raising doubts and rumors of war dominating England’s newspaper headlines, Charlotte’s ordered future begins to crumble. As the world slips into a devastating war, two men join the fight . . . but only one comes home.

Autumn, 1940. Decades following the Great War, Charlotte and Amos have returned to their lives in Coventry. Charlotte now runs a bookshop in the heart of the city with her daughter, Eden, and tries to further her late husband’s legacy by welcoming recruits from the Women’s Land Army. Wounded veteran Amos keeps to his own bookshop, unwilling to show the brutal scars the Great War marked upon him and avoiding Charlotte’s attempts to draw him out. As the Battle of Britain rages on and Hitler begins terrifying night raids on London, the people of Coventry dig in, burying shelters in rose gardens and shifting factory production to wartime goods. But even as Coventry prepares for the worst, a mysterious stranger arrives at Holt Manor with news that threatens to upend all the Holts have known to be true, and Charlotte and Amos find they must set aside their long-wrought bookshop wars in favor of winning a larger conflict—one that sees the devastation of Hitler’s Luftwaffe arriving on their doorsteps.

Based on real accounts of Britain’s Land Girls and the Forgotten Blitz, The British Booksellers highlights the courageous choices we must make to live, love, and—in the face of all that tests us—fight for what matters most.
