Loveday Cardew's beloved Lost for Words bookshop, along with the rest of York, has fallen quiet. At the very time when people most need books to widen their horizons, or escape from their fears, or enhance their lives, the doors are closed. Then the first letter comes. Rosemary and George have been married for fifty years. Now their time is running out. They have decided to set out on their last journey together, without ever leaving the bench at the bottom of their garden in Whitby. All they need is someone who shares their love of books.

In Loveday Cardews geliebtem Antiquariat in York ist es still geworden und einsam – wie in ganz England während des Corona-Lockdowns. Und das, obwohl die Menschen doch gerade jetzt Bücher am dringendsten brauchen, um ihr Herz zu weiten und der räumlichen und geistigen Enge zu entfliehen. Da erhält Loveday den rührenden Brief eines alten Ehepaars: Rosemary und George wissen, dass ihre gemeinsame Zeit zu Ende geht, und bitten um einige Bücher, um noch einmal auf die Reise zu gehen—literarisch, auf der Bank ganz hinten in ihrem Garten am Meer.
