What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
New stories are being written at The Little Penguin Bookshop…
Carrie Anderson’s business selling books at her local train station is thriving and, with her beloved Mike returned from war, everything feels as though it is falling into place. That is, until Mike is sent to Washington as a liaison between Britain and America.
When her twin brother, Johnnie, a fighter pilot, is injured, and her bookstall falls on hard times, Carrie misses the sage advice and comfort of Mike more than ever.
Bolstered by her supportive station community, can Carrie battle through this challenging new chapter and reach the happy ending she deserves?
