National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Penelope Fitzgerald's The Bookshop is "a marvelously piercing fiction" (Times Literary Supplement), short-listed for the Booker Prize.With an Introduction by David Nicholls, international best-selling author of One Day.In 1959 Florence Green, a kindhearted widow with a small inheritance, risks everything to open a bookshop-the only bookshop-in the seaside town of Hardborough. By making a success of a business so impractical, she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers. By daring to enlarge her neighbors lives, she crosses Mrs. Gamart, the local arts doyenne. Florences warehouse leaks, her cellar seeps, and the shop is apparently haunted.Only too late does she begin to suspect the truth: a town that lacks a bookshop isnt always a town that wants one.Basis for the major motion picture starring Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, and Patricia Clarkson.
