Autor Annie Lyonsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 feb 2024
London, 1938.
Bookseller Gertie Bingham is still grappling with the unimaginable loss of her beloved husband, Harry, and with the lingering sadness of never having had a child of her own. Struggling to run the cherished bookshop she and Harry opened together by herself, Gertie is preparing to sell up and move to the coast, until she is asked to take in a young Jewish refugee.
When headstrong fifteen-year-old Hedy Fischer arrives at her door, Gertie fears she has nothing left to give the troubled girl. But when the Blitz begins and the lights go out over London, Gertie and Hedy realise that joining forces will make them stronger in the face of adversity, and that books have the power to unite a community in its darkest hour . . .

Recenzii
"One adorably British odd couple . . . Charming." — People on The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett
“The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett is an exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death. In the latter, the author dares to explore a subject that many shy away from, but she does so with touching sensitivity, gentle humour and absolute honesty. Eudora’s courage, dignity and wry sense of fun are beautifully drawn as she takes the reader on the heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting journey of her life and death. Everyone should read this book.” — Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things and The Moon, the Stars, and Madame Burova
"Lyons’ characters are unique and wonderful, portrayed with a depth that allows readers to understand their motivations and empathize with them. . . . And yet the trio's unlikely camaraderie has the power to rejuvenate them all, showing that good friendship makes life worth living. A sensitive examination of human connections that can both damage and heal." — Kirkus Reviews on The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett
"Witty, endearing . . . Lyons strikes a winning balance, reaching deep feelings while avoiding the traps of sentimentality." — Publishers Weekly on The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett
