An engaging read and an essential for any bookshop enthusiast! Commencing in 1919 Paris and follows Sylvia Beach’s ambition to open a bookshop selling classics and the new wave of modernist writing. When James Joyce’s Ulysses was banned from publication, she took the task on board of publishing it through her bookshop, Shakespeare and Company. An amazing achievement at the time, involving expense and dedication to the task in hand. It is also a love story and full of the Paris scene during the 1920’s and 30’s, revolving around various ex-pat writers such as Hemingway, Joyce himself, Gertrude Stein and many others who were regular attendees at Shakespeare and Company. This reader was hooked from page 1.
