具體描述
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.
著者簡介
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?"

讀後感
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...
評分薄薄小小的一本书。我从众多书中把它找了出来。在读之前两个同学借阅了一下，都说这本书很难看下去。是吗？我将信将疑地翻开了书。 当初借这本书的原因是因为封面上的那句话——我就是想开一家书店——还有书页数不多，短时间里看完。结果，我一晚上就看完了。（也可能...
評分一 个 人 用何 填充 生命？ 自由？ 梦想？ 健康？ 爱。 不看书的人开一家书店，在众多渴望拥有一家书店的读书人看来，实在浪费，好妒忌。 可是，爱有什么规律？ 一抹眼神，一种气味，一段说辞，一个背影…… 谁可...

评分二戰後英國海濱小鎮寡婦開設書店、遭遇阻力、最終無奈失敗的故事，文風近乎白描，恬靜淡雅，平靜的敘述下流淌著深深的悲傷，有力地譴責瞭保守思想與權貴階級對文化與獨立人格的扼殺。
评分比故事更值得玩味的是Penelope Fitzgerald的語言，帶有一種英式的老派，又充滿直接、有衝擊力的淳樸質地，不像我所喜歡的其他英語作傢，能讓我很快熟悉並接受他們的語感。但這種新鮮感是以前的閱讀中沒有過的，並且她捕捉和展示細節的能力相當令人贊嘆。
评分讀的是人人版，結尾居然微虐，所有人突然都背過臉去。與之前讀的藍花，離岸衝淡自然的風格相比，這本要更符閤通俗意義上的“精彩”，石頭投入水中激起一圈一圈的漣漪，我覺得這本倒更符閤布剋奬的口味，查瞭下1978年的獲奬作品原來是默多剋的大海 ，大海。。。好吧。
