ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan follows Nina Redmond, a book-loving librarian who, after the closure of her local library, decides to leave her unfulfilling life in Birmingham behind. She moves to the small village of Kirrinfief in the Scottish Highlands to pursue her dream of opening a bookshop. As Nina works to transform a barn into her ideal bookstore, she faces challenges both personal and professional, including building new relationships, overcoming self-doubt, and navigating rural life. Themes of change, identity, belonging, and the transformative power of books are central to the story.
