INSPIRED BY AN EXTRAORDINARY TRUE STORY...
'A novel I long to live in' Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network
PARIS, 1920. On the bohemian Left Bank, Sylvia runs a little bookshop called Shakespeare and Company. Here she welcomes the greatest writers of the day - and from the moment James Joyce finally walks through her door, the two become friends.
When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Sylvia is determined to publish it herself.
But championing the most scandalous book of the century will come at a cost - and Sylvia finds herself risking ruin, her reputation and her heart, all in the name of the life-changing power of books.
Set in post-war Paris, The Paris Bookseller is a sweeping story of love, courage and betrayal - and a breathtakingly beautiful love letter to books.

Who wants to run away to Paris and open a bookstore with me?
'The Paris Bookseller' is based on the life of Sylvia Beach, an American expatriate who openend an English Bookshop in Paris in 1919 from where she would publish James Joyce's 'Ulysses' in 1922. Her bookstore and lending library 'Shakespeare and Company' was a gathering place for many (aspiring) writers of the 'Lost Generation' such as Ernest Hemingway or Ezra Pound. This book is work of fiction and can definetly b enjoyed without any prior knowledge about the subject and does take some creative liberties, but I loved it. A Lesbian bookseller opening an English Bookshop in Paris, publishing one of the most controverial banned books and berfiending mny well-known authors: This is exactly my jam and actually my dream in life. Kerri Maher paints Sylvia Beachs story so beautifully without taking away how much she sacrificed for her bookshop and the publification of 'Ulysses'. I think its safe to say this book has thrown me headfirst into a new hyper-fixation and Sylvia Beach will forever remain an Icon and very close to my heart! If you loved this book: I highly recommend reading her Memoir as well to get further insight into her life in Paris!
