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... 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. 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. 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.
