The Book of New Beginnings by Sally Page
Jo Sorsby is hiding from her past when she agrees to run her uncle’s beloved stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble little notes and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from her bruised heart.
When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian still finding himself, she suddenly realizes she isn’t alone.
They each have a story that can transform Jo’s life… if only she can let them in.

REVIEW FROM BOOK CLUB MEETING: This book had mixed reviews at both ends of the scale. Some felt that it was too slow to get going and gave up. Those who listened on audio felt this slowness made it harder to take it in. Some commented that if it wasn’t a book club read they would have thrown the towel in sooner but were actually glad that they persevered because they found it very heartwarming. The word heartwarming was mentioned by a few who thoroughly enjoyed the book. Overall we gave it 3.5 stars which doesn’t convey the 5 stars that a couple of members gave.
