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
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，...
评分在译者序中，写道，"主人公弗萝伦丝其实不懂书，当她在为新书上架时，看到书的扉页上写着，一本好书是一位大师精魂凝结而成的珍贵宝血，是为了超越生命的生命而永久珍藏．看见'血'，'精魂'这样的字眼，就把书放在宗教与家庭医药图书之间．就在那一时刻，我忽然感动无比，惟其不...
评分《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...

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。

评分读的是人人版，结尾居然微虐，所有人突然都背过脸去。与之前读的蓝花，离岸冲淡自然的风格相比，这本要更符合通俗意义上的“精彩”，石头投入水中激起一圈一圈的涟漪，我觉得这本倒更符合布克奖的口味，查了下1978年的获奖作品原来是默多克的大海 ，大海。。。好吧。
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
评分To those who were born defeated and profoundly lost. The ending, with such economy and restraint, is the saddest I’ve ever read....
