Return to Aurelia’s magical bookshop in the second book in the Midnights On the Square series, featuring a brand new cast of beloved characters from the pages of classic novels.

“Andersen sweeps readers into a delicious conceit in the follow up to The Midnight Book Club … continuing the series’ exploration of literature’s power to unite, reshape, and transform. Readers who love books about books—and find comfort in the idea that stories have lives beyond their covers—will find much to savor here.” —BookLife Reviews

“A satisfying sequel that deepens the characters and storylines introduced in the first installment.” —Kirkus Reviews

Now that writer and bookshop owner Aurelia has found love with her editor-turned-boyfriend Oliver, she has everything she’s ever wanted—love, a published novel, and of course, friendship with the literary characters who visit her shop every night at midnight. But when Oliver moves in, sneaking off for late-night bookish meetups becomes a lot more complicated.

As Aurelia works to keep her midnight gatherings secret, she can’t shake the urge to help the downtrodden Harriet from Little Dorrit rewrite her story, but this time, crafting a new ending for a classic character proves to be a bigger challenge than before. Aurelia and Harriet will have to find their own voices so they both can claim the lives they deserve.

Packed with all the warmth and bookish charm of the series debut, Booked at Midnight weaves together literary magic, enchanting romance, and the adventures of two women taking charge of their destinies … no matter the century.
