Description

Beautifully written. . . . Full of insight into the nature of tragedy, love, and redemption. --Garth Stein A gorgeously written, tender, and wise novel about love and forgiveness in 1960s Australia, in which a lonely farmer finds his life turned upside down by the arrival of a vibrant librarian. Can one unlikely bookshop heal two broken souls? It is 1968 in rural Australia and lonely Tom Hope cant make heads or tails of Hannah Babel. Newly arrived from Hungary, Hannah is unlike anyone hes ever met--shes passionate, brilliant, and fiercely determined to open sleepy Hometowns first bookshop. Despite the fact that Tom has only read only one book in his life, when Hannah hires him to install shelving for the shop, the two discover an astonishing spark. Recently abandoned by an unfaithful wife--and still missing her sweet son, Peter--Tom dares to believe that he might make Hannah happy. But Hannah is a haunted woman. Twenty-four years earlier, she had been marched to the gates of Auschwitz. Perfect for fans of The Little Paris Bookshop and The Light Between Oceans, The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted cherishes the power of love, literature, and forgiveness to transform our lives, and--if we dare allow them--to mend our broken hearts.
