The Book Haters’ Book Club

The Lyn-Lake neighborhood of Minneapolis nestles a small independent bookstore struggling to survive. Unfortunately, one of the owners, Elliott, has recently died, leaving Irma, his partner, to mop up the financial mess. Bree, Irma’s daughter and the bookstore manager, is devastated when her mother, with little notice, announces that she has sold the bookstore to property developers who plan to redevelop the site. Bree’s sister, Laney, lives in California where she runs a tire store with her husband, Tuck. On hearing the news, she flies home to Minnesota. After a community outcry, the bookstore is saved, and the redevelopment site is moved across the street. Only then is the truth of Irma’s circumstances revealed, and the family is forced to re-evaluate not only the bookstore, but their individual personal circumstances, too.
