The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: A Novel

â€œMarvelously optimistic about the future of books and bookstores and the people who love both.â€â€”The Washington Post A. J. Fikryâ€™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.Â Â â€œThis 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.â€ â€”Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child â€œYou wonâ€™t want it to end.â€ â€”Family Circle â€œA natural for book groups.â€ â€”Richmond Times-Dispatch â€œA readerâ€™s paradise of the first order.â€ â€”The Buffalo News â€œA fun, page-turning delight.â€ â€”Minneapolis Star Tribune â€œCaptures the joy of connecting people and books . . . Irresistible.â€ â€”Booklist â€œA wonderful, moving, endearing story of redemption and transformation that will sing in your heart for a very, very long time.â€ â€”Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain â€œReaders who delighted in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,Â The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, and Letters from Skye will be equallyÂ captivated by this novel.â€ â€”*Library Journal, starred review
