The Bookshop Of The Broken Hearted Av Robert Hillman

<p><b>The perfect book for anyone who''s ever had their heart broken, anyone who''s ever had their broken heart mended, and anyone who''s ever visited a bookshop...</b><br><br>Tom Hope doesn’t chase rainbows. He does his best on the farm – he milks the cows, harvests the apples, looks after the sheep – but Tom’s been lonely since his wife Trudy left, taking little Peter with her to go join the holy rollers.<br><br>Enter Hannah Babel, quixotic smalltown bookseller: the second Jew – and the most vivid person – Tom has ever met. When she asks him to move in, and help her build Australia’s most beautiful bookshop, Tom dares to believe they could make each other happy. <br><br>But it is 1968: twenty-four years since Hannah and her own little boy arrived at Auschwitz. Tom Hope is taking on a battle with heartbreak he can barely even begin to imagine.</p>
