The Last Bookshop by Emma Young

Cait is a bookshop owner and book nerd whose social life revolves around her mobile bookselling service hand-picking titles for elderly clients, particularly the grandmotherly June. After a tough decade for retail, Book Fiend is the last bookshop in the CBD, and the last independent retailer on a street given over to high-end labels. Profits are small, but clients are loyal. When James breezes into Book Fiend, Cait realises life might hold more than her shop and her cat, but while the new romance distracts her, luxury chain stores are circling Book Fiend' s prime location, and a more personal tragedy is looming.

Emma Young lectures at University Campus Oldham. She has published widely in the field of contemporary women's fiction, with a particular focus on the politics of gender and sexuality. Emma is the co-editor of British Women Short Story Writers: The New Woman to Now (EUP, 2016) and an Executive Committee Member of the Contemporary Women's Writing Association (CWWA).

James Bailey is Honorary Research Fellow in English Literature at the University of Sheffield. He is the co-editor, with Emma Young, of British Women Short Story Writers: The New Woman to Now (Edinburgh University Press, 2016) as well as author of articles in peer-reviewed journals such as Contemporary Women's Writing and European Journal of English Studies.
