A woman inherits a beloved bookstore and sets forth on a journey of self-discovery in this poignant debut about family, forgiveness, and a love of reading.
Miranda Brooks grew up in the stacks of her eccentric uncle Billy’s bookstore, solving the inventive scavenger hunts he created just for her. But on Miranda’s 12th birthday, Billy has a mysterious falling-out with her mother and suddenly disappears from Miranda’s life. She doesn’t hear about him again until 16 years later when she receives unexpected news: Billy has died and left her Prospero Books, which is teetering on bankruptcy, and one final scavenger hunt.
When Miranda returns home to Los Angeles and to Prospero Books - now as its owner - she finds clues that Billy has hidden for her inside novels on the store’s shelves, in locked drawers of his apartment upstairs, in the name of the store itself. Miranda becomes determined to save Prospero Books and to solve Billy’s last scavenger hunt. She soon finds herself drawn into a journey where she meets people from Billy’s past, people whose stories reveal a history that Miranda’s mother has kept hidden - and the terrible secret that tore her family apart.
Bighearted and trenchantly observant, The Bookshop of Yesterdays is a lyrical story of family, love, and the healing power of community. It’s a love letter to reading and bookstores, and a testament to how our histories shape who we become.

Quirky family and friends
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
She dislikes her parents. She doesn't forgive easily. She is self centered and everyone around her is also. She has strife with everyone.
It has too much detail about things that don't matter and not enough of what does.
predictable and dragged on

Love, trials, grief and pain. Overcoming.
5 stars, 100% recommend!
Beautiful story

Narrator was average. She was not strong on voices and if the structure was flashbacks in the text it was awkwardly either read or edited so a listener has a bit of trouble.
frustrating (spoilers)

Personally? No where near enough time between the book’s last word and the credits. There needs to be pause for absorption. Also, I’m not a fan of a female voice trying to take on male character’s voices. I’d much prefer a true reading of the book, as if it were us reading in our heads.
This story was delicious and the struggles all trusted, believable and pointent. I laughed and cried and felt every single point of view as if I was inside this velvet timeline, as if this was my life told out loud. Thank you. I’m a fan.
Tender, today and fractured as we all are.
