“And I never thought I’d sayīooks had been her solace when she was sad, her friends when she was lonely You do have too many books,” said Griffin.
“And it won’t be read either, because your reading pile is taller than I am!”
Some of the favorite quotes, though I loved many more 😛 🙂 I would like to recommend every book reader/hoarder to read this one…. Puff! I loved being Nina in my own imagination. Somewhere in my heart, I didn’t want the story to end. Well, that was a real bummer and it made me sad that I could connect with Nina’s imagination. I did try to find out the books Nina recommends in the story, however, it seems they are works of imagination. The book touches the heart with the lines such as, “Books had been her solace when she was sad, her friends when she was lonely.” Her van cum bookshop venture was one of the ventures, I imagined myself, and having Nina do that looked pretty in my imagination. It was heartbreaking for her to experience, “To Nina, it was like closing down an animal shelter.” I could relate to Nina’s struggle when she and Surinder had a fight about too many books at home. Nina couldn’t bear the fact that the library where she worked was closing. Readers are emotionally involved with their books and library. With Nina, you could smell the books again and be rejoiced merely by seeing a copy of a rare book. It is so true that books lost the battle to gadgets, and even to kindle. This book was written somewhere around 2016 when technology was booming, yet still reaching through the doors of middle-class homes. There are people who are voracious readers, who try to contribute towards making a better society. There are detailed descriptions strewn across the book about a book reader. As a bookworm myself, I have been in love with the character Nina Redmond. Review: The story is about a 29-year old bookworm, also a literary matchmaker, Nina Redmond. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile-a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling.įrom helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there’s plenty of adventure, magic, and soul in a place that’s beginning to feel like home… a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending. But now the job she loved is no more.ĭetermined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion… and also her job. Blurb: Nina Redmond is a literary matchmaker.
