The Bookstore - Tapa blanda

A deeply satisfying novel you will keep close to your heart, written in a style by turns witty and poetic. (Booklist Starred Review)

This is a gorgeous book, witty, lyrical, and bursting with heart, an unabashed love letter to books, to Manhattan, and to human goodness. You will race home to read it, and when you finish you will be smiling, wondering what happened next...and quietly formulating your next excuse for a trip to New York City. (Gabrielle Donnelly, author of The Little Women Letters)

The Bookstore is not just promising, it is accomplished, fully formed and as touching as it is hilarious. Deborah Meyler has that precious gift of making knowledge lyrical (Clive James 2016-03-10)

I loved this funny, elegant novel. If you like books, bookshops and stories which bring together the head and heart, this one's for you. (Andy Miller, author of The Year of Reading Dangerously)

I read The Bookstore with great enjoyment: so witty and so sad, and so life-enhancing. I loved the perspective of America through the eyes of a Brit. (Jill Paton Walsh)
