Every Story Is a Love Story by Imbolo Mbue

Some books you read. Others you carry around for days, turning them over in your mind long after the last page.

This new hardcover release from the acclaimed author of Behold the Dreamers, an Oprah’s Book Club pick and PEN/Faulkner Award winner, is literary fiction for readers who love a story with real heart. The title makes a bold promise: that at the core of every story, whether it’s about family, home, loss, or longing, is love in one form or another.

It’s the kind of novel to settle in with. Pour something warm, find a quiet corner, and linger over the pages.

Why you’ll want it on your shelf:

• A fresh, new-release hardcover with a satisfying heft in the hands
• Thoughtful literary fiction from a celebrated storyteller
• A natural pick for book clubs, since it invites conversation
• A gift for the reader who has everything, except this book

Here at the shop, nestled in Perkins Cove, we love putting a book like this in a reader’s hands. It’s perfect for a salty, windswept afternoon, or for tucking into a beach bag and reading with the sound of the waves nearby.

Stop in and browse, or order online and we’ll send it your way. We’d love to help you find your next favorite read.

<!– Editor's note (remove before publishing): I can't browse the web, so I haven't included plot details, critic quotes, or reader reviews for this title, and I didn't want to invent any. The only accolades mentioned are for the author's earlier novel, Behold the Dreamers. If you have a publisher synopsis or verified review blurbs, send them over and I’ll weave them in. –>
