Read about the newest award to be added to the An Post Irish Book Awards
As a new decade begins, hopeless romantic and big dreamer Ellen is finally moving on from her hometown.
In Galway she takes a job in a bookshop, and somewhere between the dusty bookshelves and the quiet afternoons, a bookseller named Ben finds a place in her heart.
Fast forward, and the bright lights (and cosy flats) of London are calling Ellen’s name. There she meets Leo, a charming, attentive city banker who’s everything she’s ever wanted.
And wherever she goes, her heart beats in time with her childhood friend, Danny – though they never seem to be in the right place at the right time.
If home is where the heart is, where will Ellen’s lead her?
