The House of Marvellous Books by Fiona Vigo Marshall

A story of a bookshop which sounded like it came out of the archives, a host of quirky characters and the' impossibility of maintaining and upkeeping the place with the lot in charge. There is a legendary book, which if found can save the library and its people, but it has been looked for for decades and never been found. However, the employees here (at least some of them) believe that it is around it is only a matter of following obscure clues and pouncing on the manuscript. Nice, quirky, eccentric characters who all developed as time went by, and humourously told this made for an entertaining read. Sent by Fairlight Books for an unbiased review, courtesy of Netgalley.
