“This novel has humor, romance, a touch of suspense, but most of all love--love of books and bookish people and, really, all of humanity in its imperfect glory.” -- Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child
“Marvelously optimistic about the future of books and bookstores and the people who love both.” -- The Washington Post
“You won’t want it to end.” -- Family Circle
“A natural for book groups.” -- Richmond Times-Dispatch
“A reader’s paradise of the first order.” -- The Buffalo News
“A fun, page-turning delight.” -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Captures the joy of connecting people and books . . . Irresistible.” -- Booklist
“A wonderful, moving, endearing story of redemption and transformation that will sing in your heart for a very, very long time.” -- Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
“Readers who delighted in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, and Letters from Skye will be equally captivated by this novel.” —*Library Journal, starred review

GABRIELLE ZEVIN is an internationally bestselling author whose books have sold millions of copies and been translated into over thirty languages.
Her eighth novel, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry (2014), spent months on the New York Times Bestseller List, reached #1 on the National Indie Best Seller List, and has been a bestseller all around the world. The Toronto Globe and Mail called the book “a powerful novel about the power of novels.” Her debut, Margarettown, was a selection of the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers program. The Hole We’re In was a New York Times Editor’s Choice title.
She has also written books for young readers. Her best known young adult novel is Elsewhere, an American Library Association Notable Children’s Book. Of Elsewhere, the New York Times Book Review wrote, “Every so often a book comes along with a premise so fresh and arresting it seems to exist in a category all its own… Elsewhere, by Gabrielle Zevin, is such a book.”
She is the screenwriter of Conversations with Other Women (Helena Bonham Carter, Aaron Eckhart) for which she received an Independent Spirit Award Nomination for Best First Screenplay. In 2009, she and director Hans Canosa adapted her novel Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac (ALA Best Books for Young Adults) into the Japanese film, Dareka ga Watashi ni Kiss wo Shita. She has occasionally written criticism for the New York Times Book Review and NPR’s All Things Considered, and she began her writing career at age fourteen as a music critic for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.
Zevin is a graduate of Harvard University. She lives in Los Angeles. Her ninth novel is Young Jane Young.

畅销书/狗血好莱坞爱情片即视感

中文版为岛上书店。刚开始看,觉得AJ和布莱克书店老板一样,cantankerous,mean,会赶走顾客。但是自从收养了聪明可爱的Maya,AJ似乎有了一些转变,再到爱上Amelia,AJ这个人物已经成了让读者从心里喜欢的角色。一个没有书店的地方是不完美的,所以Liam夫妻把书店顶下来了,传奇得意延续。

第二次读英语原版小说,比起第一次感觉轻松了很多。除了对Maya小时候的刻画让我觉得有点怪外,整体上觉得还算是一个好故事。

如果十年前看到的话会更合口味吧。连续看了Gabrielle Zevin两本小说,她的故事里有像会是生活在自己身边的人,但又充满了过多的意外和死亡。书店是一个有好多可能性的地方,可是能守住同一个地方的人却越来越少了。

Just lovely. 两天读完,对我来说已经是罕见了。里面的幽默让我开始以为作者应该是我这个年纪的刻薄中年男😁
