Week one of summer vacation in the books. Great success. There is nothing better than going out for an early morning run--bike ride--yoga class. That's what makes me happy. I really need to be out in the morning--doing my thing. It helps me feel grounded--balanced and at peace. And the weather has been wonderful too. A perfect blend of sun--wind--clouds too so I can do my other favorite thing--Read at the beach. Just finished a lovely book that any booklover will want to read. It's called
The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods. This charming tale centers on three characters. Opaline is a young woman living in Paris in 1920's who runs away from home to avoid an arranged marriage and live life on her own terms. Martha is an abused wife who flees to Dublin to hide from her husband. She finds a job as a live in housekeeper for an elderly woman where she meets Henry. Henry is in Dublin searching for a lost bookshop and a woman named Opaline who disappeared a hundred years ago. Although these characters appear to have nothing in common, they are all connected somehow. As Henry and Martha become friends, their search for Opaline and the bookshop lead the reader into a story that's filled with many twists and turns, characters who are really interesting and good writing. It's a magical story of about 400 pages that's also historical with a little romance mixed in too. It's the whole bag. Relax and enjoy the ride.
