Synopsis

Charlotte Dean enjoys nothing more than the solitude of her London flat and the monotonous days of her work at a travel bookshop. But when her younger sister unceremoniously bursts into her quiet life one afternoon, Charlotte's world turns topsy-turvy. Beloved author D. E.

Alternatively heart-breaking and witty, The Young Clementina is a touching tale of love, loss, and redemption through friendship.
