Beloved by Toni Morrison is a mesmerizing exploration of the deep scars left by slavery, seamlessly intertwining themes of love and loss in an unforgettable narrative. This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel immerses readers in the life of Sethe, a courageous woman who escapes the horrors of Sweet Home farm only to find herself haunted by the traumatic memories of her past.

Sethe's journey is shadowed by the ghostly presence of her deceased daughter, known only as Beloved, a poignant reminder of her profound maternal love and the lengths to which she went to protect it. Morrison's dazzling prose, hailed as “dazzling” and “magical” by the New York Times, brings to life a story steeped in brutality, horror, and an all-consuming love that transcends time and space.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
