Timeless: There’s magic in a book …
What you need to know before your trail
Max always felt too ordinary for the magical village of Lampton. No place more so than her mum’s bookshop, where the recommendations are more than just a matter of taste – they’re magic.
When Max’s mum dies suddenly, she leaves her daughter Lamplight Books and makes one last wish: that Max would spend a year working in the bookshop before she sells it.
Max has no desire to uproot her busy life in the city to return to a place that always made her feel inadequate, but she can’t ignore her mum’s last request. So she decides on a trial run of two weeks – if she can’t even last that long, then a year would be impossible…

Travel Guide
Lampton and other book havens
The city: Max starts the book living and working a busy, fast-paced corporate life in a generic, unnamed modern city.
The Village: Lampton is modelled after a classic, rural British village, featuring traditional independent shops like a local bakery.
Lampton no doubt inspiration from tiny, historic book towns or the quaint rural villages found throughout the UK countryside.
