The Last Bookstore on Earth is an instant New York Times bestseller that compellingly redefines literature amid the harrowing landscape of a climate change apocalypse.

This gripping tale intertwines a heart-wrenching narrative of queer love and survival, drawing comparisons to acclaimed works like Station Eleven and The Last of Us. Set in a world devastated by a catastrophic storm, Liz, who once thrived in a vibrant bookstore, now finds it a sanctuary amidst chaos. Here, she trades stories for supplies, searching for connection among the dwindling survivors.

Everything changes when an impending storm threatens her fragile existence. Enter Maeve, a fierce intruder seeking shelter, whose unexpected arrival ignites a journey filled with long-buried secrets and unspoken fears. Together, they confront the essence of survival, questioning whether love can truly blossom in a dying world.

This heartfelt exploration serves as a profound meditation on survival, forgiveness, and the power of love in the face of despair. Acclaimed by critics, it has been described as “hopeful, thrilling, and twisty” by Jennifer Dugan and “hauntingly beautiful” by Jarrod Shusterman.

  • Sapphic Romance: A slow-burn narrative set against a dystopian backdrop.
  • Critical Acclaim: Praised by Publishers Weekly and Kirkus for its depth and emotional resonance.

Immerse yourself in The Last Bookstore on Earth, a vivid tale that not only reflects our present challenges but also offers a beacon of hope for the future.

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.’
