The Bookshop on Autumn Lane by Cynthia Tennent

Big dreams can come true in a small town.

While some young women would jump through hoops to claim ownership of a bookshop, free-spirited Gertrude Trudy Brown wants nothing to do with the rundown store her late Aunt Gertrude left her. Having suffered from dyslexia all her life, books aren't exactly her friends. With not much more than a collie dog who's scared of his own shadow, and a rusty but trusty '74 Beetle, Trudy arrives in the tiny town of Truhart, determined to sell off her cumbersome inheritance as quickly as possible.

But Trudy is not the only stranger in town. Christopher Kit Darlington, a professor of American Studies at Cambridge, is searching for an elusive manuscript-and he secretly thinks Trudy's ramshackle bookshop might hold the key to its discovery. As these two opposites spend the autumn days together, cleaning out Trudy's bookshop, they soon find that uncovering both literature and love can be equally mysterious.

Trudy's never been the type to stay in one spot too long, but something about Kit makes her consider starting a new chapter-and maybe even finding there's a happily-ever-after.
