The Telephone Box Library
(2020)(The first book in the Little Maudley series)
A novel by Rachael Lucas
The heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship, a little red telephone box in the heart of the English countryside, and a secret kept since the Second World War...
High school teacher Lucy is takes a sabbatical after a health scare, finding herself in a cute little village in the English countryside that wouldn't be out of place in The Holiday. With her beloved West Highland terrier and a perfect little cottage to live in, she's on a mission to research the women who worked at nearby Bletchley Park during the war.
At ninety years old, Bunty is stubborn, independent and quite happily living alone. The last thing she wants is someone meddling in her life, and the village improvement society's plans to renovate the telephone box brings back memories she's kept safely locked away since the end of the war.
Her friend Sam builds tree houses for a living - not that it impresses his teenage daughter Freya these days. She's more interested in finding out where her mother has gone, and why she was left behind...
As the village comes together to create The Telephone Box Library and Lucy finds herself drawn into the community, secrets unfold and friendships flourish.
The Telephone Box Library is a heartwarming feel-good escape for anyone who dreams of writing themselves a happy ever after... from the internationally bestselling author of the Applemore series!
