The Last Page Cafe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780008830021)

'A gorgeous story full of emotion and a very special library.' Evie Woods on The Memory Library

--------------------------

Sometimes the last page is just the beginning...

At fifty-four, Erin McRae feels like she's living in the margins of her own story. Her son is preparing to fly the nest, and the rent increase on the café she loves to run means she's going to have to close up shop. Her greatest escape is the mismatched book club she founded, bound together by one unusual rule: they choose their next book based solely on the last page.

But when the book club discusses what their own last pages might say, Erin and her fellow members begin to see their own lives in unexpected ways.

As the club's discussions grow deeper, long-buried secrets surface, old wounds start to heal - and romance leaps off the page. With The Bookmark under threat of closure, Erin must ask herself: can she write herself a happier story?

A heartwarming novel about friendship, second chances, and the surprising ways stories shape our lives, perfect for lovers of Evie Woods, Sally Page, and Pip Williams.
