The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Author: Gabrielle Zevin

A.J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over–and see everything anew. This heartwarming tale reminds us of the joy of connecting with others through books, and how love can bloom in the most unexpected places.

We aren’t the things we collect, acquire, read. We are, for as long as we’re here, only love.
