About this listen

A completely heartwarming, uplifting and nostalgic saga. Perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke, Pam Howes, and Dilly Court!

1910, Bath, England – Hardworking and whip smart, Elizabeth Pennington is the rightful heir of Bath’s premier department store, Pennington’s. But her father, Edward Pennington, believes his daughter lacks the business acumen to run his empire. He is resolute a man will succeed him.

Determined to break from her father's hold and prove she is worthy of inheriting Pennington’s, Elizabeth makes two lifelong friends in Esther and Cornelia – who both work in the store.

She also forms an unlikely alliance with ambitious and charismatic master glove-maker Joseph Carter. They have the same goal: bring Pennington's into a new decade while embracing women’s equality and progression. But, despite their best intentions, it is almost impossible not to mix business and pleasure…

Can Elizabeth, her friends, and the man she’s increasingly falling in love with, thwart Edward Pennington’s plans for the store? Or will Edward prove himself an unshakeable force who will ultimately ruin them all?

Previously published as A Shop Girl in Bath.
