When her rent is raised by thirty percent she tries to stay afloat by sacking her weekend casual assistant and working seven days per week herself, but knows she is going to have to face the fact that she still can’t make enough to pay her rent.Īt the end of the novel, the author Emma Young, notes that in real life, bookstore chain, Dymocks did remain open in Perth in 2015, after announcing that it would close and that some independent bookstores have survived in the CBD, but only by being adaptable and changing the way they do business. She knows if she’s forced out of the city to the suburbs, she’ll struggle to make ends meet and will lose her loyal customer base. She loves finding the perfect book for each reader and with her mix of new and used books and has a regular clientele that she loves to interact with. For Cait, her bookshop is more a way of life than an income. Reduced income due to on-line book sellers, ebooks and rising city rents have forced all the others to close including the big chain stores. Cait Cooper is the proud owner of the last bookshop in the Perth CBD.
