ARRIVING NEXT TUESDAY IN SOFTCOVER PAPERBACK: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
|
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, arriving next Tuesday in Softcover Paperback, is perfect for a holiday Gift for your Book Club, your relentless reader, or anyone who likes a great, uplifting story!
A New York Times Bestseller, a #1 Indie Next Pick, and a #1 LibraryReads Selection!
"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 The Snow Child
A. J. Fikry, the irascible owner of Island Books, has recently endured some tough years: his wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and his prized possession-a rare edition of Poe poems-has been stolen. Over time, he has given up on people, and even the books in his store, instead of offering solace, are yet another reminder of a world that is changing too rapidly. Until a most unexpected occurrence gives him the chance to make his life over and see things anew. Gabrielle Zevin's enchanting novel is a love letter to the world of books-an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. Enter NOW, this Contest closes Monday, December 01, 2014!
Pre-Order your Softcover Paperback NOW on our Website!
