An Island Reads. In his atmospheric summer novel, bestselling author Janne Mommsen sends Greta Wohlert to a small North Sea island, where her aunt has a house by the beach. The flight attendant has taken a few days off from her stressful job. However, upon arriving on the island, Greta first has to help Aunt Hille clear out her former shop. In the dusty shelves, Greta discovers countless books. Fascinated by her find, she organizes a flea market. The sale of the books brings Greta so much joy that she has an idea: What if she just stayed here and opened a bookstore on the island? She is encouraged in this endeavor by Claas, the attractive owner of the island's guesthouse. But soon, events take a turn: Someone wants to drive Greta off the island, and a mysterious love dedication in an old book presents her with many puzzles.
