The Little Venice Bookshop

💖💖💖💖/5

The Little Venice Bookshop by Rebecca Raisin is about an unforgettable journey that unlocks secrets from the past and provides a sense of belonging. Luna has always been a free spirit, a traveler, just like her mother was, moving from place to place, relying on casual jobs to earn enough to live and then moving on. Her one constant, wherever she was in the world, was her mother, so when Luna is in Thailand she suddenly feels the pull to see her mother. Instead of seeing her, Luna receives the devastating news that her mother has passed away. Losing her mother leaves Luna feeling lost; her mother was her only family, and without her Luna feels rootless. Luna discovers a collection of letters, written to her mother amongst her possession; sending her on an unexpected journey. The writer of those letters obviously loved her mother. Following a clue in the letters, Luna packs her bags and heads to Venice, along with her best friend Gigi, to a beautiful but faded bookshop overlooking the canals, hoping to uncover the truth about her mother’s mysterious past. This could, after all, be one step closer to finding that missing part of her life, her father, possibly a place where she finally belongs and the possibility for much more love in her life. I highly recommend The Little Venice Bookshop to other readers.
