Reviews
Praise for Gabrielle Zevin's work: - This book is a gift to book lovers. Funny, tender, and inspiring... --The Huffington Post - The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry reminds us what saves us all from a life of loneliness and isolation: our sense of empathy; our ability to love and be loved; our willingness to care and be cared for. Gabrielle Zevin has written a wonderful, moving, endearing story of redemption and transformation that will sing in your heart for a very, very long time. --Garth Stein, NYT Bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain - 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, NYT Bestselling author of The Snow Child
