具体描述
In 1959 Florence Green, a kindhearted widow with a small inheritance, risks everything to open a bookshop - the only bookshop - in the seaside town of Hardborough. By making a success of a business so impractical, she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers. By daring to enlarge her neighbors' lives, she crosses Mrs. Gamart, the local arts doyenne. Florence's warehouse leaks, her cellar seeps, and the shop is apparently haunted. Only too late does she begin to suspect the truth: a town that lacks a bookshop isn't always a town that wants one.
作者简介
ENELOPE FITZGERALD wrote many books small in size but enormous in popular and critical acclaim over the past two decades. Over 300,000 copies of her novels are in print, and profiles of her life appeared in both The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine. In 1979, her novel Offshore won Britain's Booker Prize, and in 1998 she won the National Book Critics Circle Prize for The Blue Flower. Though Fitzgerald embarked on her literary career when she was in her 60's, her career was praised as "the best argument.. for a publishing debut made late in life" (New York Times Book Review). She told the New York Times Magazine, "In all that time, I could have written books and I didn’t. I think you can write at any time of your life." Dinitia Smith, in her New York Times Obituary of May 3, 2000, quoted Penelope Fitzgerald from 1998 as saying, "I have remained true to my deepest convictions, I mean to the courage of those who are born to be defeated, the weaknesses of the strong, and the tragedy of misunderstandings and missed opportunities, which I have done my best to treat as comedy, for otherwise how can we manage to bear it?"

读后感
《书店》又是一本关于书的书。同时，也是关于一个中年女人和她的书店的一本小说。 《书店》也是一本充满小资情怀的书。全书弥漫的那种悲伤可以像传染病一样，缠上喜欢阅读并喜欢书的人。 这本2006年出版的书，在豆瓣很流行，目前已经积累了10篇书评。绝大多数的书评都和我...
评分强烈推荐这本小说，这是一本有情怀的，有悠长氛围的英式小说。实在是很好看啊，作者简直太有自己的风格了，即使是译文，那种悠长的气氛也能很强烈的感觉到。要是能看到原版就好了。
评分 评分哈堡小镇本身是位于大海与河流之间的一座岛屿，潮湿，与世隔绝。一九五九年那会儿，哈堡没有鱼和炸薯条，没有自助洗衣店，除了每隔一个礼拜六晚上放映一次外，也没有电影可看。在东盎格鲁清澈而又寒冷的空气中，生存常常被视为唯一的要求。不是生就是死。 弗洛伦丝是一个六十岁...
评分这本书拿到我手里的时候有一点旧，不像是崭新的。 封面边缘有一些折痕，向上微翘，但其实是新的，没有谁翻看过的痕迹。 封面是旧旧的近似褐色的赭石，就像是从旧书店里淘来的感觉，却没有腐朽之气。 看译者序中说：她其实并不懂书。有一天，我翻译到那一段，她正为新书上架，...

... the town in which she had lived for nearly ten years had not wanted a bookshop.
评分比故事更值得玩味的是Penelope Fitzgerald的语言，带有一种英式的老派，又充满直接、有冲击力的淳朴质地，不像我所喜欢的其他英语作家，能让我很快熟悉并接受他们的语感。但这种新鲜感是以前的阅读中没有过的，并且她捕捉和展示细节的能力相当令人赞叹。
评分面对命运暗流时也许每人会有自己特定阅读的书，而我会选「书店」。二十出头时我是看不懂它的，那时我不知道一个小镇的风物人情，会如此蔓延到生活的枝节丰富故事的密度，在暗中虎视眈眈又高远疏离。在兜转数年后再次重遇，时光叫人改变，偶尔风霜扑面，终于沉稳一点了，与故人再会面，一切似曾相识的景物都不一样了。那家只开了一年的书店在1959到1960那一年间的潮汐明灭，Florence梦里的鹭鸟和鳗鱼，倾颓的悬崖别墅被海水腐蚀，敲门鬼的闹腾成了不能说的秘密，Hardborough上人与人的缘分稀薄，它在编织又不在编织，是年过六十写出来的气质舒朗。有些人总教人对年长充满了期待。

评分在靠海的银行旧楼里开一间书店 不想比摆脱夜间的失眠更难 沙墙带出了海水的湿度 楼上鬼怪作乱出了动静 本想将老房建成艺术中心却被抢占先机而借此有了交战理由的富贵女人 流动图书馆的成形 帮手克莉丝汀的离退 全世界都与她为敌 弗洛伦斯·格林的造书梦碎了裂了 她以她的告别成全这座小镇 耳顺之年的处女作 满纸的孤独与隐忍
