Tags

Description
A.J. Fikry, the irascible owner of Island Books, is adrift in a sea of loss and disappointment. His wife is gone, his bookstore is failing, and his prized collection of Poe poems has been stolen. He's given up on people and even the books that once offered solace are now just reminders of a world changing too fast.
Then, a mysterious package appears, offering A.J. a chance to see everything anew. As this unexpected occurrence begins to transform his life, the locals and a persistent sales rep, Amelia, notice the change. Can the wisdom of books and a second chance at life bring A.J. back from the brink, and reveal why we read and why we love?
