The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams

I have enjoyed the Dove Pond series after reading and loving, The Book Charmer, which remains my favorite book in the series. I enjoy the sense of community, romance and family that Karen Hawkins creates in her books. I also enjoy her writing, the characters she creates, and getting to know the Dove sisters. All the Dove sisters have a special gift! In The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams, Tay has returned to her hometown and to her sisters. She has recently suffered heartbreak and is using this time work on her biography of her great-great-grandmother Sarafina. She turns to Rose Day and her wonderful bookshop which also serves as the town’s archives. It is there that Rose’s grandson; Luke agrees to help her with her research….🥰

I did enjoy how The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams delves into the past with Seraphina and a young man named William and the present day with Tay and Luke doing their best to uncover the truth about what happened all those years ago. I did find this book to be charming and heartwarming.🥰

What shines through is the relationships, the sense of community, the sisters, and Karen Hawkins’ lovely writing.

Well written, well thought out and charming.📕
