Cynthia Swanson has a wonderful imagination!

The Bookseller is about a single woman in the early 1960’s. She runs a book shop and as an unmarried woman has not followed the conventional life path of the time. She’s quite content, but begins to have vivid dreams of an alternate reality where she is a happy housewife and mother. Her dream life and waking life co-exist and the lines begin to blur. What is real? What is imagined? What does she want?

The author has written short stories before and this is her first published novel. She lives in Denver, which is the setting for the book.

The Bookseller is an enjoyable escape. This would make an excellent book for a book club. I am sure that the discussions would be fun.
