books for next year's discussion. First, the popular Storied Life of A.J. Fikry.
"In the spirit of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Gabrielle Zevin’s enchanting
novel is a love letter to the world of books--and booksellers--that changes our lives by giving us the stories that open our hearts and enlighten our minds." (Goodreads Summary)
Description from the NoveList database:
"A middle-aged bookseller mourning his lost wife, a feisty publisher’s rep, and a charmingly precocious abandoned child come together on a small island off the New England coast in this utterly delightful novel of love and second chances." -- Beth Mills for LibraryReads.
Last year I read this book in weekend - it is quick, entertaining and
who doesn't love a happy ending. Several members of book group have suggested this one.
