Otto Bookstore

 Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  Have you ever read a Maeve Binchy novel?  They all take place in Dublin and when you’ve read one you get the feeling of “coming home” every time you read another.  Her latest is Minding Frankie and it’s about Noel, a young man who still lives with his parents (and manages to avoid them as much as he can).  He has a boring, dead end job and no special interests outside of drinking himself numb at the local pub.  And then…and then comes Frankie.  Frankie is a baby girl born to a terminally ill woman who claims Noel is the baby’s father and she wants him to take her so she won’t be put into foster care.  Noel doesn’t even remember the baby’s mother but he wouldn’t, since he never even approached a woman unless he was drunk.  How Noel rises to the challenge and turns his life around with the help of a wonderful neighborhood full of warm and caring characters (some of whom you’ve met in earlier Binchy novels) makes a story that fills you with all the nostalgic satisfaction of… “coming home.”  Minding Frankie—you’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise, in the heart of downtown Williamsport.
