A. J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over--and see everything anew.
Wow, what an unexpected surprise! This was a solid two thumbs up with our whole book discussion group. Zevin is a very talented writer. Here is a list some of the terms used in online reviews to describe the Storied Life of A.J. Fikry: wonderful, interesting, clever, funny, heartwarming, poignant, moving, expected, delightful, quirky, captivating, enjoyable, well-written, and tender. And I agree with all of them so I probably don't need to clarify that I highly recommend this book.
