The Bookstore Sisters by Alice Hoffman

From New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman comes a heartfelt short story about family, independence, and finding your place in the world.

Isabel Gibson has all but perfected the art of forgetting. She’s a New Yorker now, with nothing left to tie her to Brinkley’s Island, Maine. Her parents are gone, the family bookstore is all but bankrupt, and her sister, Sophie, will probably never speak to her again.

But when a mysterious letter arrives in her mailbox, Isabel feels herself drawn to the past. After years of fighting for her independence, she dreads the thought of going back to the island. What she finds there may forever alter her path—and change everything she thought she knew about her family, her home, and herself.

4/5 stars

A series of short stories, this being the 1st in the series  (the 3rd coming in the new year). My first thought is that this would make a nice full length novel. 

The Booksellers Sisters is the story of 2 sisters, a quick version of their separation and what brought them back together. It’s a story of grief, family and relationships. Figuring out what’s important with a sassy 12 year old and the dog - it’s always fun having a dog on scene.

I’m not sure how long this series will last, but I will be there for the ride.
