Description: It's 1956. When thirteen-year-old bookworm Rosy Heron and her big sister Martha are sent to Dublin to help their Aunt Toto in her busy bookshop for the summer, their quiet lives change overnight. Baggot Books is right in the bohemian centre of Dublin - buzzing with artists and writers and theatre folks - but it's also full of secrets.
