Hanging over the porch of the tiny New England bookstore called Island Books is a faded sign with the motto “No Man Is an Island; Every Book Is a World.”  A.J. Fikry, the irritable owner, is about to discover just what that truly means . . . 

As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read and why we love.

“Zevin is a deft writer, clever and witty, and her affection for the book business is obvious.” -- Publishers Weekly
