Some books find you exactly when you need them most.
Tucked away on a cobbled Cornish street, The Twilight Bookshop is waiting. Not everyone can find it. But for those who do, nothing will ever be the same again.
Mel has spent thirty years burying her acting dreams. Izzy gave up her passion for painting the day her world fell apart. Tom, recently widowed, fills his days with activity to drown out the silence where his beloved Sandra used to be.
When the bookshop's extraordinary keeper, Zara, welcomes them across the threshold at twilight, something remarkable begins. Because here, second-hand books hold the energy of everyone who has ever loved them – and at twilight, that energy comes alive.
Amanda James has written since she was a child and even asked her parents for a typewriter for Christmas. She never imagined her words would ever be published. In 2010 the dream of becoming a writer came true when she had her first short story published.
Originally from Sheffield, Amanda now lives in Cornwall and is inspired every day by the wild and beautiful coastline. She can usually be found playing on the beach with her family, or walking the cliff paths planning her next book.
