Description
New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston's return to her trademark blend of magic and romance is guaranteed to enchant.
An antique shop haunted by a ghost.A silver treasure with an injustice in its story.
An adventure to the past she'll never forget. Xanthe and her mother Flora leave London behind for a fresh start, taking over an antique shop in the historic town of Marlborough. Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine, she has to know more. It is while she's examining the chatelaine that she's transported back to the seventeenth century, where she discovers an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter's life, threatening to take Flora's if she fails. While Xanthe fights to save the girl in 1605, she meets architect Samuel Appleby. He may be the person who can help her succeed. He may also be the reason she can't bring herself to leave. With its rich historical detail, strong mother-daughter relationship, and picturesque English village, The Little Shop of Found Things delivers a heartfelt page-turner.

I did not know this was the first in a series, and so while I enjoyed it, I was caught off guard that there was more to come…
Different but good
This book was different from the genres I typically read. I found it very interesting and should I say captivating. What I found missing is or should I say lacking was the details and no backstory about the ghost and what happened to her. I understood you're trying to save your child but From 400 years ago??? That just seemed odd... Esp since she passed BEFORE Alice was arrested//// and why did Alice take the silver???
