This was a dreamy little memoir of the English language bookshop with heart in Paris, originally founded by Sylvia Beach who famously loaned books to Hemingway and published Joyce when no-one else would look at his writing.
I especially loved meeting the current octogenarian owner George, a true Renaissance man, with the heart of ten thousand men.
Did you know that you could move in to Shakespeare and Company and work in the bookshop if you are a writer passing through?
