Inspired by the true World War II history of the few bookshops to survive the Blitz， The Last Bookshop in London is a timeless story of wartime loss， love and the enduring power of literature。

August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler's forces continue to sweep across Europe。 Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett， young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she's always dreamed of--and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside。

With aspirations of working at a department store， Grace never imagined she'd wind up employed at Primrose Hill， an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city--after all， she's never been much of a reader。 Overwhelmed with organizing the cluttered store， she doesn't have time to read the books she sells。 But when one is gifted to her， what starts as an obligation becomes a passion that draws her into the incredible world of literature。

As the Blitz rains down bombs on the city night after night， a devastating attack leaves the libraries and shops of London's literary center in ruins。 Miraculously， Grace's bookshop survives the firestorm。 Through blackouts and air raids， Grace continues running the shop， discovering a newfound comfort in the power of words and storytelling that unites her community in ways she never imagined--a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of war-torn London。
