Summary

Pre-order Evie Wood’s stunning new book The Story Collector now!

The Echo of Old Books meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets.

‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’

On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…

For too long, Opaline, Martha and Henry have been the side characters in their own lives.

But when a vanishing bookshop casts its spell, these three unsuspecting strangers will discover that their own stories are every bit as extraordinary as the ones found in the pages of their beloved books. And by unlocking the secrets of the shelves, they find themselves transported to a world of wonder… where nothing is as it seems.

Hailed as one of the best releases of 2023, this contemporary romance weaves a tale of realism across multiple timelines, cementing its place as a top pick in women's general fiction. Its great acclaim has quickly spread, poised to be the latest and last book you'll need to complete your must-read list for the year. For fans of Sally Page (The Book of Beginnings), Fiona Valpy (The Cypress Maze), Eve Chase (The Glass House) and Barbara Davis (The Echo of Old Books) and Jill Mansell (The One You Really Want).

Wonderful story; funny, sad, shocking, delightful & magical.

Beautifully crafted and thought provoking. Helped me to understand my own story. Imaginative and heart warming with humour and grief understood.

The beautiful descriptions and intriguing characters.

Really enjoyed this book. The reading made me feel like I was living the story with the characters. Interesting contrast from the two time periods. Enjoy!

Amazing! A book I would listen to again

Just fantastic overall! I would pick this up again and know I would find more to enjoy. Loved the different story elements - not just the characters but how women were treated, the different types of authors and books mentioned throughout and the overall power it left you.

Best story I've listened to for ages!

It's been a long time since I've listened to a book that I've enjoyed so much. I was totally immersed in this story. It was captivating and so well written. The storyline had me hooked from the start and the three main characters in the book all had interesting and often heartbreaking stories to tell. A book full of mystery, tragedy, love and history!
A must read!!
