Full description

A story about the magic of books and the power of friendship. Shelves with carefully selected titles; magical window displays and walls decorated with framed messages – the Poslaniyata bookshop is a place any avid reader would fall in love with. Here Madleen Callan spends her happiest moments as a child thanks to her aunt Maddie, the creator of the bookshop. Her love for her aunt, however, soon is put to the test. And almost twenty years later, when Madleen unexpectedly inherits Poslaniyata, the decision to sell it seems the most logical step. Unfortunately, the bookshop's financial state doesn't allow a quick sale. And its two clerks – Claire and Janet, are ready to do anything to keep it. For them, Poslaniyata is a refuge, the only place where they feel truly at home. After her own career takes an unexpected turn, Madleen begins to understand why. She is helped by the special messages left by the bookshop's creator for her niece and her two clerks. Each of them receives a short letter and a list of books – everything they need to move forward. Janet finds the strength to face the truths that led to her divorce. Claire finds her way back to her daughter. And Madleen discovers that what she believed her whole life may not be the truth. But the book in Poslaniyata gives her new hope. And new love.
