Miss Bankel's book

Stevenson Publication date: 2026 Book genre: Fiction and Novel Publisher: Bayt Al-Kutub Number of pages: 268 Format: Paperback About the book: In a small English village, Barbara Bankel, a shy, single woman in her mid-thirties, searches for ways to grow her modest income. Finally, an idea sparks in her mind: she will write a book and, since she thinks she lacks imagination, she resorts to what she knows well: her quiet village Silver Stream. But when the book she published under a pseudonym becomes a bestseller, and her fictional world becomes more similar to reality than it should be, the neighbors begin to notice... and not in a good way. What started as a fun experiment turns into a spark that changes the entire community, and as the boundaries between fantasy and reality fade, Barbara finds herself facing a question: can a book really change her world, or does it only change her place in it?
