INSPIRED BY AN EXTRAORDINARY TRUE STORY... 'A novel I long to live
in' Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network PARIS, 1920. On the
bohemian Left Bank, Sylvia runs a little bookshop called
Shakespeare and Company. Here she welcomes the greatest writers of
the day - and from the moment James Joyce finally walks through her
door, the two become friends. When Joyce's controversial novel
Ulysses is banned, Sylvia is determined to publish it herself. But
championing the most scandalous book of the century will come at a
cost - and Sylvia finds herself risking ruin, her reputation and
her heart, all in the name of the life-changing power of books. Set
in post-war Paris, The Paris Bookseller is a sweeping story of
love, courage and betrayal - and a breathtakingly beautiful love
letter to books. *** 'A worthy homage to Sylvia Beach and a love
letter to all bookstores, libraries and the passionate and
committed women who run them' New York Journal of Books 'I was
completely enthralled' Natasha Lester, author of The Paris Secret
'An intriguing story, beguilingly told' Mail on Sunday 'Absorbing
and beautifully written... transports you to 1920s Paris - and
keeps you utterly captivated with its vivid cast of characters and
their bohemian lifestyles' Heat 'A compelling coming-of-age tale,
in addition to an impressive piece of historical fiction'
Culturefly 'A book for the bookshop lovers . . . an absorbing novel
about the life changing nature of our favourite reads' Belfast
Telegraph 'A compelling and fascinating look at the world-changing
mavericks who bonded, bickered and triumphed in the realm of
literature' Nuala O'Connor 'A compelling portrait of a remarkable
woman, who steps from the pages in all her charm, courage and
vulnerability' Gill Paul 'Intelligent, fierce and filled with
reverence for a fascinating epoch in literary history... a delight
for readers and writers' Whitney Scharer, author of The Age of
Light
