'Delightful! I read [it] in one sitting. It's a big-hearted gift to anyone who has worked at a bookstore, or loitered in a bookstore, or dreamed of living above a bookstore. The story has humour, romance, a touch of suspense, but most of all love - love of books and bookish people and, really, all of humanity in its imperfect glory.' Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child
A.J. Fikry owns a failing bookshop. His wife has just died, in tragic circumstances. His rare and valuable first edition has been stolen. His life is a wreck.

What happens in the bookshop that changes the lives of these seemingly normal but extraordinary characters
This is the story of how unexpected love can rescue you and bring you back to real life, in a world that you won't want to leave, with characters that you will come to love.
