Received an Advance Reading Copy (ARC) of this title from the publisher. Gabriell Zevin is known for her YA novels, including the science fiction 'Birthright' series. Her newest book,
The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry is a heart-warming story of a despondent and self-destructive bookseller coming to terms with what live can offer when an unusual package is left in his store.
Loved the personalized shelf-talkers which introduce each chapter. Made it feel like I was wandering the aisles of a small but cozy bookstore and brought a number of stories to my attention as well. My personal reading will continue beyond Zevin's book ... :-)
Fans of literary fiction and the world of books should enjoy this.
