- Helen McGill is pushing forty, tired of baking for her ungrateful brother, so she buys a horse-drawn book wagon from a funny little redheaded man and just goes. Short, cheerful, and sweet without being sappy, perfect for an afternoon when you need one.
- You spend time with Roger Mifflin, the Brooklyn bookseller who treats books as companions and occasionally talks like a man delivering a sermon. The mystery is mild and some early-20th-century opinions are dated, but the shop’s literary eccentricity feels warmly lived-in.
