First draft
The Last Bookshop on St. James's Street
In 1818 London, a widowed bookseller is determined to keep her late husband's failing shop afloat, even if that means dealing with a patronising printer, a hostile landlord and a ledger full of bad decisions. When a discreet gentleman with a taste for rare editions begins helping her untangle the business, their arrangement turns into something less practical and more dangerous.
