“With Love From London” is a Bookish Scavenger Hunt Through the Past
A mother/daughter story with a twist… or three
Valentina’s mother was her entire world. And then, she was gone.
Reeling from her recent divorce, Valentina gets another piece of life-shattering news — the mother who disappeared to London when she was young has passed away. And, she’s left her daughter the bookstore she ran in London.
With a synopsis like that, I couldn’t possibly resist clicking that “request” button on NetGalley. Very grateful to the publisher and to NetGalley for the digital review copy of this lovely bookish adventure.
Now that you know what the book’s about, let’s get to the review!
(Full disclosure: I received a digital review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Specific book links are Bookshop.org affiliate links.)
With Love From London alternates between Valentina’s present day timeline and her mother’s story in the past.
I’m afraid this is one of those times where I struggled with the dual POV, I think because both timelines had a bit of a slow start, so jumping between them made things take even longer to get moving.
