She was also a bookworm and that's why, when she had turned fifteen, she had gotten the job at Mrs Bloss' book shop. Never in a million years did she think she would find true love amongst the Jane Austen novels. Alfie Dixon had just turned twenty, he was a country lad born and bred, but when his Aunt asks him to help run the shop whilst she is away, he jumps at the chance. There he meets the beautiful Edith and her bewitching smile, he is instantly smitten and knows that life will never be the same again.
