This is an engaging and witty story that will
appeal to book lovers and book sellers.
Set in a quaint little bookstore on a fictional island (think Martha’s
Vineyard) the story centers around A.J. Fikry, the recently widowed and
depressed owner of the bookstore. Woven
throughout the tale are situations involving the book-selling business,
romance, unexpected fatherhood, book clubs as well as a laugh out loud author
visit. Each chapter is prefaced by a
letter recommending a book, usually a short story--A.J.’s preferred reading, as
a way for A.J. to pass down his love of books to one of the main
characters. This is one of those books
to be read, beginning to end, ignoring house work, yard work, feeding of
children, etc.
