The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald

The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald

Florence Green, a widow with modest savings, decides to open a bookshop in a small, damp English coastal town in the late 1950s, only to discover that a locally powerful woman wants the building for her own cultural ambitions, and is entirely willing to destroy Florence's small venture to get it.

Fitzgerald writes with quiet, understated precision about the specific cruelty of provincial social politics, letting Florence's modest, decent ambitions be crushed by forces far more concerned with status than books, in a slim novel that packs genuine devastation into its restrained prose.

A Booker Prize finalist, and one of Fitzgerald's most acclaimed novels.
