Nancy & Uhtred

Bookshop Hotel #3

by A.K. Klemm

Nancy Harrigan would never wear anything but a pantsuit in a solid color. She wakes up at precisely 7:30 every morning, and she hasn't used a sick day in two years. She organizes Tuesday and Thursday Bingo, and she feeds the stray cat in the backyard but would never let him inside. And she would never read anything other than a classic. Until, fed up with her book club's response to her favorite, A Scarlet Pimpernel, she tries something altogether new and meets Uhtred of Bebbanburg, hero of the Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. Now what will happen to her perfectly tailored life?

This charming novelette (about 40 pages) is a light-hearted tale of Lily Hollow, the same lovable setting as A. K. Klemm's previous works The Bookshop Hotel and Lily Hollow. It will make you smile and keep you turning the pages as you wait to see how Nancy and Uhtred's adventure turns out.

Will Nancy ever be the same again - and will she even want to be?

Of my published work so far, this is my favorite.

This novelette was SO MUCH FUN to read. I wasn't sure what to expect, knowing the main character like I do from the other Lily Hollow books, but I was hooked straight out of the gate. And giggling at points to boot. If you're a fan of Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales and you want to see his work in an entirely new light, I beg you not to pass this up. I actually started reading The Last Kingdom after reading Nancy & Uhtred. What can I say, I was sold by Nancy's passion.

Klemm has worked the charm of a lazy Southern summer through this uplifting tale about what really goes on behind closed doors in little old ladies' Dogwood shrouded homes. There is a book. There is a cat. There is a Dane. I was thrilled with this lovely nod to Bibliophiles, small town festivals, and pantyhose eggs. Perfect story to kick off your summer reading list.
