Three Wee Bookshops at the End of the World

About this book

This stunning sequel to The Bookseller at the End of the World continues Ruth Shaw's story with more heartwarming tales from a woman who has lived a brave and fascinating life.
'Compelling. Shaw tells her own story free of over-sentimentality or self-pity; she's straightforward, frequently humorous... Her resilience, optimism and willingness to help others is to be admired; her remarkable story is to be read and reflected upon as it adds another vital perspective to a NZ life.' -- Dionne Christian, Sunday Star-Times
The Bookseller at the End of the World described the first part of Ruth Shaw's tumultuous life, touching readers in powerful ways. It became an international bestseller, translated into eleven languages.
Three Wee Bookshops at the End of the World picks up Ruth's story with more charming, heartbreaking, brave and funny tales. Having found the love of her life, Lance, she tells of their sailing adventures together, world travels, conservation efforts and their wee bookshops.
Life has never been easy for Ruth but, despite that, her book is chock full of extraordinary people and situations, many of them laugh-out-loud funny. Tales from the bookshops are interwoven with Ruth's story, along with expert book recommendations.
Written in Ruth's characteristic style, this absorbing memoir traverses the highs and lows of a life lived to the full, creating another deeply satisfying read.
