A captivating literary thriller from one of Italy's rising feminist voices, perfect for admirers of Sophie Mackintosh, Elena Ferrante and Sarah Moss

A teacher vanishes into the forest one morning, leaving her classroom abuzz with speculation and her family searching frantically. She dissolves into a mesmerising wilderness, where wild boars roam freely, towering silver birches reach for the sky, and ancient birdsong fills the air. Nestled in a bed of moss, she attempts to escape the devastating news of a student's demise.

In the town, behind drawn curtains and within factory walls, the enigma takes root. Who is Silvia truly? Is she an exceptionally compassionate educator living beyond societal norms, or a lonely outsider without familial ties? The search appears to reach its conclusion when a local child stumbles upon her refuge. But what if those who have gone missing prefer to remain undiscovered?

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.’
