3.5 stars. I didn't think I was going to like this book; was a slow beginning for me and a lot of English and Scottish words. However, I ended up really liking it. Zoe is a young, single mother living in a small flat in London trying to make ends meet. She gets an opportunity to move to Scotland for an au pair job and one selling books from a mobile library. What she finds is a highly dysfunctional family and a challenging job filling the librarian's shoes.

Another delightful read by Jenny Colgan. Usually her stories keep me smiling throughout the book. This one was not a "cheery" book. Zoe, raising her son Hari by herself with almost no help from his wayward dad, decides to leave the expense of England and travels to Scotland where a friend has lined up two jobs for her. One, helping out with a traveling bookshop, and secondly, as a live in aupair to a very strange family in a very old castle- like home. Many interesting characters, and many adventures later, Zoe finds what true home and family mean.

absolutely loved this book; a bit of intrigue, a bit of mystery; a bit of mysticism and a modern-day love story.
Good chick lit. Good characters and story. Conflicts with good resolution. Heartwarming without being cheesy. Just a good satisfying easy read.
