In this second volume of the hilarious, feel-good series of novels set in an English secondhand and antiquarian bookshop, it’s time for another week of bookworm madness. It’s November and an army of poppy sellers has descended upon ‘The Secondhand Bookworm’, a cosy, winding labyrinth of a shop with room, upon room, upon room of used and antiquarian books. Nora Jolly wonders what the enormous explosion is up at the castle ruins, why the local ghostbuster has cut his hair, how many times she has to convince people that they do no list their books on the computer, if the ‘Universe of Books’ is really a Mafia front and what the smell is coming from the back yard. Tensions rise and humour abounds as Nora spends her week battling French students asking bizarre questions, the notorious Ravens demanding their discount, a van load of Ladybird books, a growing puddle outside the shop door and why so many women have lost their husbands. And then there’s Betty and her knickers! Of course, the shop wouldn’t be complete without plenty of tea. It’s another ordinary week in the life of a secondhand bookshop… Emily Jane Bevans lives in Sussex, England. For ten years she worked in and helped to manage a family chain of secondhand and antiquarian bookshops. Nora and the Secondhand Bookworm is her second novel in ‘The Secondhand Bookworm’ series.
