Present day. Valentina learns that her mother Eloise left her a house in London as an inheritance. Valentina's relationship with her mother has been strained for a long time, so she is not interested in the inheritance. But it turns out that there's a bookstore in the house, nice neighbors live nearby, and Eloise had a secret from her daughter, which Valentina begins to unravel, finding meaningful clues from her mother.
1968. Eloise shares a rented apartment with a friend and dreams of opening a bookstore. One day, she meets Edward—a very nice but mysterious young man, she thinks. Unfortunately, after one of their meetings, Edward disappears. This becomes a turning point in Eloise's life, something even she doesn't suspect at first.

'A cozy slice of escapism that will make readers dream of true love and a bookstore.' – Kirkus Reviews
