Hillary Clinton is recovering from her election loss in part by shopping for books with her family in Rhode Island.

In a speech last week to the Children's Defense Fund, the former Democratic presidential nominee said there have been a few times since her November 8 loss to Republican Donald Trump that all she wanted to do was 'to curl up with a good book.'

On Sunday, she was spotted at The Savoy Bookstore in Westerly with her husband Bill, their daughter Chelsea, son-in-law Marc Mezvinsky and grandchildren.

Wick says Mrs Clinton browsed the store (pictured above) with her husband, their daughter, their son-in-law and their grandchildren. It's been nearly two weeks since the former secretary of State lost the presidential election to Donald Trump

The Secret Service came into the store first and the family followed.

Bookseller Jessica Wick tells The Day newspaper that the family was low key and it seemed like they just needed reading material.

'I wouldn’t say we were playing it cool … but nobody approached them,' Wick said. 'It was like, you’re shopping with your family.'

She said Mrs Clinton was kind, gracious and graceful.

After selling the president and former secretary of state some books - which she didn't name - Wick asked for a picture with Mrs Clinton and she obliged.

In the photo, which Wick posted to her Facebook, Mrs Clinton appears to wear little to no make-up and her hair looks much more casual than the voluminous blow-outs she sported during the election.

'I think she’s a really strong, amazing woman. I was very excited to tell her.

'It was just all of us excited to be brushed by greatness. It was meaningful to see her there,' she added.

Wick went into even more detail about the meeting in a post on her Facebook.

'I told her I voted for her, that she meant and means a lot. I thanked her, apologizing if I was being inappropriate or intrusive, because again: privacy. We all deserve privacy. She was gracious and she was warm and she said the bookstore was beautiful. Bill Clinton shook my hand and complimented my sweater.

'They were kind. We were unprepared to meet them. I wish they were the First Family Elect, but that wish is only new by about November 9th. I wish them a good future, and loads of good books and interesting reading. This was definitely one of the coolest things to have happened to me,' she wrote.
