Bloomsbury Girls

Description

Bloomsbury Books is a quiet, dusty, tradition-bound London bookstore that has persisted and resisted change for a hundred years, run by men and guided by the general manager’s unbreakable fifty-one rules. But in 1950, it’s a new world, and at Bloomsbury Books, the girls in the shop have plans.

Evie Stone, Vivien Lowry, and Grace Perkins are determined to build new lives for themselves and for their beloved store, in a world filled with dazzling characters, from Daphne de Maurier to Peggy Guggenheim to Samuel Beckett. The only way forward for the women of Bloomsbury Books is to contend with the domineering male staff, band together, and take over the bookshop.
