About The Secret Library
Some stories don't end. They wait to be found…Book editor Lucy Thomas has just inherited her grandmother’s windswept Cornish home, and with it, a library bathed in sunlight, a spiral staircase that leads to secrets, and a battered box filled with unfinished stories…
To honour her grandmother’s last wish, Lucy must finish what was left undone – and discover the magic hiding between the lines.
Filled with warmth, whispers of magic, and the irreplaceable comfort of books, The Secret Library is for anyone who knows how one story can change everything.
