Description
The Paris Bookseller is a sweeping story of love, courage and betrayal set in post-war Paris. Sylvia runs a little bookshop called Shakespeare and Company, where she welcomes the greatest writers of the day. When James Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Sylvia is determined to publish it herself, risking ruin, her reputation and her heart in the process.
As Sylvia champions the most scandalous book of the century, she finds herself at the heart of a vibrant literary scene, where creativity and passion reign. This beautifully written novel is a love letter to books and the women who run them, and a testament to the power of literature to transform lives.
