The bookshop on the corner review5/7/2023 She also writes about the sunlight’s effect on other pieces of nature, such as how it is “illuminating every crystal raindrop”. She refers to this natural element as “golden”. One example is when Jenny describes sunshine in the countryside. The use of descriptive imagery toward settings and scenery was one of the strongest components of The Bookshop on the Corner! Through select word choices, Jenny paints a distinguishable landscape between the city (Birmingham, England) and the country (Kirrinfief, Scotland) that feels realistic. With a mostly strong use of character development, this allowed the characters to be unique and memorable from one another. But another creative decision I liked was how Jenny gave each character a distinct personality and characteristics. As a reader, I appreciated this creative decision because it was easier to remember who was who. In this message, Jenny shares how she purposefully gave her characters different names, in an attempt to avoid confusion. Jenny’s message was a nice gesture to her audience, as it felt genuine. This message explains the different places a book can be read, sharing tips to help the reader have a good reading experience. At the beginning of my copy of the book, Jenny includes a message to the readers. Since the word ‘bookshop’ was an obvious choice, I selected The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan. It’s that time again another review for this year’s Buzzwordathon! July’s theme is ‘Bookish Words’.
