The Bookshop Sisters: Discover How to be a Brilliant Young Bookseller with Sarah Webb

It’s 1956. When thirteen-year-old bookworm Rosy Heron and her big sister Martha are sent to Dublin to help their Aunt Toto in her busy bookshop for the summer, their quiet lives change overnight. Baggot Books is right in the bohemian centre of Dublin – buzzing with artists and writers and theatre folks – and the two sisters quickly become part of the team, as junior booksellers and bicycle delivery girls.  

The bookshop is also full of secrets. Where does their aunt disappear to at night, and what exactly is happening in the basement of the shop? The Bookshop Sisters is heartfelt ode to bookshops, the joy they bring to readers of all ages, and a timely reminder of their incredible importance. Ireland in the 1950s was a harsh place, especially for women, and in this thrilling and inspiring new story, different generations come together to try to make it a more equal place for all.
