I am always excited about books and bookstores. One of my greatest heartaches was the history of the Library at Alexandria. Such a great loss, even though they were scrolls rather than books 😢.

A  most enjoyabe story.  It covered 3 of my favorite things:  books, cats & happy endings!

It's so good to realize that I am not a True Bookie. I love old dusty bookshops and bookstores with old and new books shoulder to shoulder on shelves.

What a wonderful and interesting story! Very enjoyable !!

A gentle well written tale. Appreciation from North Central, Minnesota, USA.

I lived in the west of Scotland as a girl, with American military parents. The description of Edinburgh,  Leith, the stone streets. This took me back 70 years. 😊

I loved this story from start to finish every detail

A literary avalanche frozen in time. Loved that.

I love stories about bookstores, or shops.  I also love 've you hat you figured out the right way to pronounce "close".  Thank you.  Born Scottish,  hearing "close" and "scone" mispronounced, not to mention Glasgow and Edinburgh, is like being doused in icy water.
I'm looking forward to more of Clara's adventures.  ❤😊❤

Good pictorials and an interesting tale.

You have created a plethora of wonderful heartwarming comments that were as good to read as listening to the story!!

Extraordinary narrator of a story every true bibliophile will value immensely. Thank you from San Antonio,Texas.

Good story.  Good narration. 👍

I enjoy every single story
😊thank you

How I love this story so much! Books are my passion and ruin. Most of my money go to books. At home, everywhere are books. Thousands of them.😅 the smell of books, touching them, caressing them, loving them... I can go on and on. For myself a home, would not be home without them. Even in bed, I'm surrounded by them.😊 Recently, I helped a friend restore his library with thousands of books as well. It was also in a bad situation, a bit like Clara's in this story. It took me a few months to do that. The grime was awful! The classification took its time as well, but everything is beautiful. It's just a dream now. There is not a cat, but a dog. In my case there is a bunny, who doesnt eat my books, a a few cats that visit my library sometimes. Everybody is happy. And I'm happy to know that they are happy. Anyways,  thank you for this beautiful story. Greetings from Lac de Vassiviere. Royere de Vassiviere. France. ♥️💙🙏🥰✨️🦋🍀🕊

I loved this story!😀

I really enjoyed this story!  Thank you.

I loved the moment Clara took in the Murray family during the storm. It proved that her primary motive was never greed or revenge, but compassion and restoring what rightfully belonged to others.😍😍😍

Wonderful story

What a wonderful story!
