"Sometimes books don't find us until the right time."I hope everyone finds this sweet story. It is the story of how the power of books can bring people together as well as the way in which love can be found in the most unlikely packages.
A.J. Fikry is a bookstore owner who has become lonely and crotchety since his beloved wife died. Just when he is losing his passion for the life that once excited him, an unexpected package arrives in his store and completely transforms his life. Suddenly, his cold, hardened heart begins to open to the possibility of love and friendship. People in his small town notice the change, and they are soon affected by it too.
Each chapter is prefaced with a description of a short story that Fikry is leaving to his daughter. It is definitely a book for book lovers. Books are referenced throughout the novel, and one walks away with a deeper appreciation for books after reading this magical tale of loss, love, and hope.
