The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods1920's Europe; present day DublinGenre(s): historical fiction; contemporary romance; magical realism This book is similar to The Midnight Library (which I read earlier in the year after reading @Mellmars1185's review of that book) in that the magical realism elements interwoven in both requires the reader to suspend disbelief to some extent to move on with the storylines. The Lost Bookshop centers on 2 timelines and 3 main characters and their connection to ... wait for it ... a bookshop, with one storyline focused on the life of a woman in Europe in the 1920s and the other on the lives of a man and a woman in present day Dublin.This is my second book from the magic realism genre and it's lighter on that theme than The Midnight Library which centers on the adventures of one protagonist. I found each of the 3 main characters in this book to be more relatable, and easier to empathize with and relate more to than the protagonist in The Midnight Library, and that kept me more engaged, as did the twist and turns in the storylines in The Lost Bookshop. Their stories contain themes of heartbreak and trauma, along with hope, and the author does a beautiful job of telling their stories. 3-1/2 stars. Trigger warning:SpoilerThis book deals with a handful of potentially sensitive topics, including, but not limited to:Spoilerdomestic violence This book deals with a handful of potentially sensitive topics, including, but not limited to:domestic violence Notable Quotes:Spoiler"... books were more than words on paper; they were portals to other places, other lives. I fell in love with books and the vast worlds they held inside...""You have to understand, old houses have their quirks. Some things are meant to be flawed. Therein lies beauty." "Lost is not a hopeless place to be. It is a place of patience, of waiting. Lost does not mean gone for ever. Lost is a bridge between worlds, where the pain of our past can be transformed into power. You have always held the key to this special place, but now you are ready to unlock the door."" 'Hope' is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without words - And never stops - at all - ""... books were more than words on paper; they were portals to other places, other lives.
