From the million-copy bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop 'A delicious book that I couldn’t resist devouring in one sitting. It was a delight to lose myself in the world of Edie and the mysterious baker. I would recommend to pastry lovers and book lovers alike!' Sally Page, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Keeper of Stories Nestled among the cobblestone streets of Compiègne, there existed a bakery unlike any other. Rumours were whispered through the town that its pastries offered a taste of magic, chasing away the darkest of sorrows. Just one bite of a croissant might bring luck, unlock a precious memory or reveal hidden longings. But dark clouds were looming on the horizon… For Edie Lane, a recipe for disaster doesn’t require that many ingredients. Take an unhealthy amount of wishful thinking and a sprinkle of desperation and that’s how Edie left everything behind in Ireland for her dream job at a bakery in Paris. Except the bakery isn’t in Paris – and neither is Edie. This might not be where Edie intended to be but she soon realizes it's exactly where she needs to be… Praise for Evie Woods ‘Beautifully written and captures the wonder and awe that a story can bring to its reader…a delightful story for any book lover…an ode to storytelling and the connections that books can make!’ ????? ‘Wowwww!!

**** MYCKET BRA!**** En hisnande blandning av romantisk feelgood och historiskt drama, kryddat med en del humor och tragik, mycket magisk realism och litet socialrealism. ( ) spännande, rolig och skakande om vartannat och, allra mest, en hyllning av böckers helande kraft. Litteraturens skönhet belyses från alla möjliga håll; känslan av att hitta en vackert inbunden volym eller ett okänt manuskript, undangömt i årtionden, att få ta del av underbara berättelser och kunna ge dem vidare till nya läsare. Man blir glad!Pia Lindestrand, Bibliotekstjänst, BTJ-häftet nr 20, 2024. På en tyst gata i Dublin väntar en försvunnen bokhandel på att upptäckas ... Opaline, Martha och Henry har varit birollsinnehavare i sina egna liv alltför länge. Men när en försvunnen bokhandel blir en del av deras liv kommer dessa tre intet ont anande främlingar att upptäcka att deras egna berättelser är precis lika magiska som historierna i deras favoritböcker. I takt med att de avslöjar bokhyllornas hemligheter transporteras de till en otrolig värld där ingenting är som det verkar ... Evie Woods är pseudonym för den bästsäljande författaren Evie Gaughan. Hon bor på Irlands västkust och flyr det dåliga vädret genom att skriva sina böcker på en ombyggd vind, där hon drömmer om golvvärme. Hennes böcker står på gränsen mellan det alldagliga och det utomordentliga, och beskriver den magi som går att hitta i våra vardagliga liv.

Jossain odottaa aina kirjakauppa löytymistään. Evie Woodsin romaani Kadonnut kirjakauppa on maagisen lumoava tarina suurista päätöksistä, rakkaudesta ja taiasta, jonka voi löytää vain kirjoihin uppoutumalla. Vuonna 1922 Opaline päättää ottaa elämänsä omiin käsiinsä ja karkaa järjestettyä avioliittoa. Saadakseen rahaa pakomatkaansa hän päättää myydä isältään perimänsä harvinaisen kirjan. Siitä alkaa seikkailu, joka vie Opalinen Pariisiin Shakespeare and Company -kirjakauppaan ja sieltä edelleen Dubliniin. Nykypäivä. Martha pakenee aviomiestään Dubliniin, pikkuruiseen kellariasuntoon, Madame Bowdenin kotiapulaiseksi. Sattuman kautta hän tutustuu Henryyn, joka on uppoutunut tutkimukseensa sadan vuoden takaisesta kadonneesta käsikirjoituksesta ja siihen liittyvästä kirjakaupasta. Opalinea, Marthaa ja Henryä yhdistää rakkaus kirjoihin. Sen on huomannut myös hiljaisella kadulla sijaitseva salainen kirjakauppa, joka on valmis lumoamaan heidät taianomaisella voimallaan. Ja pian mikään ei ole sitä, miltä näyttää. Evie Woodsin Kadonnut kirjakauppa tarjoilee kiehtovan sekoituksen arkipäivää ja maagista realismia, ja paljastaa tavallisessa elämässä piilevän taikuuden. Evie Woods (s. 1976) on irlantilainen kirjailija, jonka menestysromaani Kadonnut kirjakauppa on noussut useille bestseller-listoille ja käännetty yli 30 kielelle. Kirja on myös ollut ehdolla British Book Award -palkinnon saajaksi. Kadonnut kirjakauppa on Woodsin ensimmäinen suomennettu teos.
