About this listen

'Heartfelt and beautifully written, this is the author's best book to date' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caroline James, bestselling author of The Cruise

Where books are borrowed, friendships are forged and secrets uncovered…

As a beautiful summer unfolds in the Croatian islands, Ana Meštrović embarks on a new venture – transforming her beloved catamaran into a floating library.

Joined by crew members Lloyd, a widower whose past threatens to overshadow everything, and Natali, a young mechanic afraid of her own shadow, the newly formed trio all have their own powerful reasons for needing the travelling library to be a success.

As they explore stunning coastlines and visit picturesque harbours, they learn that, sometimes, the most profound changes happen not just in the pages of a book, but in the bonds formed along the way…
