The Bookseller

By Cynthia Swanson

Have you ever wondered what your life might have been if you had made different choices at pivotal moments?

It is 1962 in Denver, Colorado, and 30 year old Kitty Miller is part owner of a small bookshop with her friend Freida. She loves her life but the shop is struggling to continue as shopping malls and housing developments are drawing the customers out past the bus lines to the rapidly growing suburbs.

Then the dreams begin.

Katharyn Anderrson is married to young architect Lars and lives with him in a picture-perfect home in the Denver suburbs. This is the life that Kitty once longed for, but it apparently exists only in her dreams. What is real? What is dream?

I loved this book. The author has reflected on the flavor of the early 1960s by drawing in world events, music, and the bestsellers of the time throughout this story. It held me right up to the last page! ​
