When Libby Nicholls arrives in London, broken-hearted and with her life in tatters, the first person she meets on the bus is elderly pensioner Frank. He tells her about the time in 1962 he met a girl on the number 88 bus with beautiful red hair just like her own. They made plans for a date, but Frank lost the ticket with her number written on it. For the past sixty years, he's ridden the same bus trying to find her. Libby is inspired by the story and, with the help of an unlikely companion, she makes it her mission to continue Frank's search.

Lonely librarian June Jones has never left the sleepy English village where she grew up. Shy and reclusive, the 30-year-old would rather spend her time buried in books than venture out into the world. But when her library is threatened with closure, June is forced to emerge from behind the shelves to save the heart of her community and the place that holds the dearest memories of her mother.

Having recently moved from London to a small Cornish seaside village, Nova Davies started a book club at the local community center, but so far it’s a disaster. The five members disagree on everything, and to make matters worse, a significant sum of money is stolen during one of the meetings, putting the much-loved community center at risk.

June Jones hat das verschlafene englische Dorf Chalcot, in dem sie aufgewachsen ist, nie verlassen. Schüchtern und zurückgezogen verbringt die 30-Jährige ihre Zeit lieber in Gesellschaft ihrer Bücher. Doch jetzt droht die Bibliothek, in der sie arbeitet, wegen Sparmaßnahmen der Gemeinde schließen zu müssen - ein Ort, der für June eine besondere Bedeutung hat und das Herz ihres Dorfes ist. June muss endlich hinter den Regalen hervortreten, um das zu retten, was vor allem für die Außenseiter, Alleingelassenen und Hilflosen stets als Zufluchtsort und Rettungsanker diente.

Library assistant June knows a lot about the regulars at Chalcot Library, yet they know very little about her. When her mum - the beloved local librarian - passed away eight years ago, June stepped into her shoes. But despite their shared love of books, shy June has never felt she can live up to the village's memory of her mum. Instead, she's retreated into herself and her memories, surviving on Chinese takeaways-for-one and rereading their favourite books at home.

When Libby Nicholls arrives in London, brokenhearted and with her life in tatters, the first person she meets on the bus is elderly Frank. He tells her about the time in 1962 that he met a girl on the number 88 bus with beautiful red hair just like hers. They made plans for a date at the National Gallery art museum, but Frank lost the bus ticket with her number on it. For the past 60 years, he’s ridden the same bus trying to find her, but with no luck.

La tímida June Jones vive en Chalcot, una pequeña población de Reino Unido, y es bibliotecaria de corazón. Sus mejores amigos son las personas que conoce cada día en el trabajo: el viejo Stanley, a quien ayuda con el ordenador; Chantal, una joven que busca un lugar tranquilo para estudiar; Leila, una refugiada que aprende inglés con ayuda de los libros de cocina que June elige para ella, o la activista Mrs. Bransworth, que critica todas las obras que encuentra en la biblioteca.

Seventy-seven-year-old Dorothy Darling has lived in Shelley House longer than any of the other residents, and if you take their word for it, she’s as cantankerous as they come. But Dorothy has her reasons for spying. And none of them require justifying herself to Kat Bennett. Twenty-five-year-old Kat has never known a place where she felt truly at home, and crumbling Shelley House is no different. Her neighbors find her prickly and unapproachable, but beneath her tough exterior, Kat’s plagued by a guilty secret from her past.

Frisch getrennt und ziemlich durch den Wind kommt Libby Nicholls nach London, um bei ihrer Schwester Unterschlupf zu suchen. Der erste Mensch, den sie im Bus auf dem Weg dorthin trifft, ist Frank, ein älterer Herr. Ehe sie sichs versieht, erzählt er ihr seine Lebensgeschichte – und von einer Frau, die er vor Jahrzehnten im Bus derselben Linie kennengelernt hat: eine Frau, die ihn mit ihrem Mut, zu sich selbst zu stehen, beeindruckt hat, eine Frau, die er nie wiedersah. In den letzten sechzig Jahren ist er immer wieder mit dem Bus durch die Stadt gefahren, nur um sie zu finden.

Dine biblioteksbøger fortæller mere om dig, end du tror... June Jones arbejder på det lokale bibliotek i Chalcot og kender de faste lånere rigtig godt, men de ved ikke ret meget om hende. Otte år tidligere mistede hun sin mor, og byen mistede dermed sin elskede bibliotekar. Mor og datter delte en stor kærlighed til litteraturen, men den lidt generte June føler ikke, hun kan leve op til landsbyboernes minder og høje tanker om sin mor. Da biblioteket pludselig er lukningstruet, slår en excentrisk gruppe af lokale lånere sig sammen for at redde det.

Da Libby ankommer til London med hjertesorg og frustrationer i bagagen, møder hun den aldrende Frank i bussen. Han fortæller hende, at han tilbage i 1962 mødte en ung kvinde med rødt hår – præcis ligesom Libbys – på den selvsamme busrute. Det var kærlighed ved første blik, men det blev aldrig til mere end det, for Frank mistede billetstumpen med kvindens telefonnummer på. Siden har han kørt med den samme bus igen og igen i en forgæves jagt på at finde sin drømmekvinde. Libby bliver grebet af historien og beslutter sig for at hjælpe Frank.

June Jones, timida bibliotecaria trentenne, non ha mai lasciato il sonnolento villaggio inglese in cui è cresciuta. Solitaria e riservata, preferisce trascorrere il tempo sepolta nei libri piuttosto che avventurarsi nel mondo, e si chiude sempre di più in se stessa e nei ricordi, sopravvivendo con cibo da asporto cinese e rileggendo i suoi libri preferiti a casa.

Twenty-five-year-old Kat Bennett has never had a place to call home, and when she moves into the crumbling Shelley House, she thinks it will just be temporary. Seventy-seven-year-old Dorothy Darling has lived in Shelley House for longer than anyone can remember, and if you believe the other tenants, she's as cantankerous as they come. When the building faces demolition, sworn enemies Kat and Dorothy become unlikely allies in their quest to save their historic home...and even less likely investigators when they suspect that foul play is coming from inside the house.

Lorsque la bibliothèque du village est menacée de fermeture, un groupe d'habitués excentriques entreprend de sauver l'établissement. Parmi eux, Stanley, le gentleman retraité, qui vient y chercher un accès aux ordinateurs et aux mots croisés, l'acariâtre Mme B, qui n'a jamais encore déniché de livre qui trouve grâce à ses yeux, et Chantal, une adolescente qui a juste besoin d'un endroit tranquille pour étudier loin de chez elle.
