New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins crafts an
unforgettable story about a sleepy Southern town, two fiercely
independent women, and a truly magical friendship.
Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books have always been
more than just objects: they live, they breathe, and sometimes they
even speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in her quaint
Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the
hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been
whispering about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a
displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler.
If the books are
right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond desperately needs. The
problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky
residents—Sarah chief among them. It takes a bit of urging, and
the help of an especially wise book, but Grace ultimately embraces the
challenge to rescue her charmed new community. In her quest, she
discovers the tantalizing promise of new love, the deep strength that
comes from having a true friend, and the power of finding just the right
book.
“A mesmerizing fusion of the mystical and the
everyday” (Susan Andersen, New York Times
bestselling author), The Book Charmer is a heartwarming
story about the magic of books that feels more than a little magical
itself. Prepare to fall under its spell.
