As an adult, she uses her new relationship with literature to seize upon the most important question: (how) do books prepare us for life?

It's an ode to our favourite bookish spaces - from the smallest secondhand bookstalls to libraries, glorious big bookshops and our very own book rooms - and a love story to how books not only shelter our souls through hard times and help us find ourselves when we feel lost, but also help us connect with the people we love through shared stories. | |
