The Librarian
Description:
In 1958, Sylvia Blackwell, fresh from one of the new post-war Library Schools, takes up a job as children's librarian in a run down library in the market town of East Mole.
Her mission is to fire the enthusiasm of the children of East Mole for reading. But her love affair with the local married GP, and her befriending of his precious daughter, her neighbour's son and her landlady's neglected grandchild, ignite the prejudices of the town, threatening her job and the very existence of the library with dramatic consequences for them all.

Beautifully written, evokes the era well and characters grow on you.

I loved the book (maybe due to the fact that I am an librarian ;)), characters are quite vivid and main character is endearing. The story that gently unfolds is one of friendship, love, aspirations and the power of books. Easy reading but very hard to put down.
