HTML:<b>“Marvelously optimistic about the future of books and bookstores and the people who love both.”—</b><i><b>The Washington Post</b></i><br /> A. J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over—and see everything anew.&#160; &#160;<br /> “This novel has humor, 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 <i>The Snow Child</i><br /> “You won’t want it to end.” —<i>Family Circle</i><br /> “A natural for book groups.” —<i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i><br /> “A reader’s paradise of the first order.” —<i>The Buffalo News</i><br /> “A fun, page-turning delight.” —<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i><br /> “Captures the joy of connecting people and books . . . Irresistible.” —<i>Booklist</i><br /> “A wonderful, moving, endearing story of redemption and transformation that will sing in your heart for a very, very long time.” —Garth Stein, author of <i>The Art of Racing in the Rain</i><br /> “Readers who delighted in <i>The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,</i>&#160; <i>The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry,</i> and <i>Letters from Skye</i> will be equally&#160; captivated by this novel.” —*<i>Library Journal,</i> starred review.
