Summary

Daydreamer Nora has inherited all of her grandmother's worldly belongings.

Nora dreads seeing her beloved grandmother's possessions go, but she's determined that item by item, memory by memory, she will find the perfect new owners.

When she opens The Memory Shop in the front of her grandmother's house, the community is gradually drawn inside, and Nora begins transforming the lives of those around her through the objects she pairs them with.

Fantastic!

If you love Chic Lit you will love this book! This is a fantastic book!! I honestly loved it! If it isn't already, this would make a fantastic film and could rival Love Actually or The Holiday! Even though I was screaming at Nora "ITS HERRRRRR" in the first few chapters she quickly catches on! lol Several tales of different people going through their own problems all cleverly interlaced and connected by The Memory Shop! Nora's Nan and Grandad things are solving problems from beyond the grave! Definitely worth the credit! Loved It!

A lovely book to dive into and enjoy

I really loved this book. I just wanted to listen to it until the end a real page turner (only in listening format). I don't regret one minute of it an neither do my dogs. I look forward to listening again

Lovely story.

Really enjoyable story and (mainly) likeable characters.

My only gripe is the dreadful New York accent that is attempted by the narrator!

A gentle listen.
Would recommend.

The Memory shop

I loved listening to this book and it was so nice that the characters fit together like a jigsaw.
The narrator Deirdre O'Connell had a very clear voice and didn't do like some narrators do and get to near the mic. I do hope she narrates some more of Ella Griffin books.

Lovely feel good book

This book is very moving in places, and has an aura of goodness about it. The historical facts are accurate, and has a 'realness' about it. Very enjoyable, and well narrated.

A lovely story beautifully written

I did enjoy this story. It is beautifully and cleverly put together. The American accent is a bit off but it certainly doesn’t detract from a great story.
