The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry / Gabrielle Zevin; 260 pp.

Just the book I was looking for. AJ Fikry is a young, misanthropic widower and owner of  Island Books, a not-so-successful bookstore.  He has a prized volume of Poe which disappears.  And at nearly the same time, something very special appears in his store which changes everything.  Sections are headed with AJ's short story recommendations, as they relate to themes in his life and the novel. An unapologetic feel-good which is smart enough to be a complete pleasure.  Recommended for part or full-time bookworms.
