Kazuo Ishiguro's 'Klara and the Sun' has taken the literary world by storm, clinching the top spot on the Sunday Times Bestseller list and earning a coveted place on the Booker Prize longlist. Even Barack Obama couldn't resist adding this gem to his summer reading collection.

Step into the world of Klara, an Artificial Friend with a keen eye for detail. From her vantage point in a shop, she scrutinises the comings and goings of potential customers and passersby. Ever hopeful of being chosen, Klara's world teeters on the brink of transformation. Yet, a cautionary whisper warns her not to place too much faith in human promises.

Through Klara's unique perspective, Ishiguro masterfully navigates our rapidly evolving world, probing the very essence of what it means to love. This poignant tale, likened to the haunting 'Never Let Me Go', weaves a delicate tapestry of tender moments and profound truths.

As The Washington Post aptly puts it, this is 'a delicate, haunting story'. The Times echoes this sentiment, declaring it 'tender, touching and true'. At its heart, 'Klara and the Sun' reminds us that even in the most unexpected places, love finds a way to shine through.

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.’
