具体描述
In 1959 Florence Green, a kindhearted widow with a small inheritance, risks everything to open a bookshop - the only bookshop - in the seaside town of Hardborough. By making a success of a business so impractical, she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers. By daring to enlarge her neighbors' lives, she crosses Mrs. Gamart, the local arts doyenne. Florence's warehouse leaks, her cellar seeps, and the shop is apparently haunted. Only too late does she begin to suspect the truth: a town that lacks a bookshop isn't always a town that wants one.
作者简介
ENELOPE FITZGERALD wrote many books small in size but enormous in popular and critical acclaim over the past two decades. Over 300,000 copies of her novels are in print, and profiles of her life appeared in both The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine. In 1979, her novel Offshore won Britain's Booker Prize, and in 1998 she won the National Book Critics Circle Prize for The Blue Flower. Though Fitzgerald embarked on her literary career when she was in her 60's, her career was praised as "the best argument.. for a publishing debut made late in life" (New York Times Book Review). She told the New York Times Magazine, "In all that time, I could have written books and I didn’t. I think you can write at any time of your life." Dinitia Smith, in her New York Times Obituary of May 3, 2000, quoted Penelope Fitzgerald from 1998 as saying, "I have remained true to my deepest convictions, I mean to the courage of those who are born to be defeated, the weaknesses of the strong, and the tragedy of misunderstandings and missed opportunities, which I have done my best to treat as comedy, for otherwise how can we manage to bear it?"

读后感
英国作家佩内洛普·菲兹杰拉德的《书店》，是一本与梦想有关的书。 主人公弗萝伦丝在一个不足千人的小镇上开了一家书店，这一举动遭到了以附庸风雅的加玛特夫人为代表的小镇各个阶层的敌意和排斥，尽管弗萝伦丝竭尽所能，甚至不惜与律师针锋相对，然而，在唯一支持弗萝伦丝的布...
评分这是一本关于书店的书 小32开本 朴素的封面 捧在手上很轻盈 随时随地 便可以开始阅读 象这样有关书的小册子 我有不少 譬如《查令十字街84号》 譬如 《一个书痴的爱情事件》 以及《书店风景》 《书天堂》 我就是想开一家书店 本来是没有想买这本...
评分这本书最好看的是它的朴实的封面。 由于翻译的糟糕，消灭了阅读感。既然一上来就抹杀了要看的冲动，本该把它永远放下，实在它又短小，又是新书，还是那个新星出版社的，姑且给他们点面子，三口两口啃完。 某种程度上翻译的水平倒是同此书女主人公的故事有些异曲同工。这本书讲...
评分在译者序中，写道，"主人公弗萝伦丝其实不懂书，当她在为新书上架时，看到书的扉页上写着，一本好书是一位大师精魂凝结而成的珍贵宝血，是为了超越生命的生命而永久珍藏．看见'血'，'精魂'这样的字眼，就把书放在宗教与家庭医药图书之间．就在那一时刻，我忽然感动无比，惟其不...
评分范典/文 英国女作家佩内洛普·菲兹杰拉德的书都很简薄，从《书店》、《早春》、《离岸》到《蓝花》，一本本翻过去，人物清晰，立场明白，然而情节又是随意而微小的，她擅长将人物的情绪掩入故事的叙述当中，她的深刻实非一次可以尽得。 她的写作经历让人叹佩不已，６０岁开...
用户评价
二战后英国海滨小镇寡妇开设书店、遭遇阻力、最终无奈失败的故事，文风近乎白描，恬静淡雅，平静的叙述下流淌着深深的悲伤，有力地谴责了保守思想与权贵阶级对文化与独立人格的扼杀。
评分面对命运暗流时也许每人会有自己特定阅读的书，而我会选「书店」。二十出头时我是看不懂它的，那时我不知道一个小镇的风物人情，会如此蔓延到生活的枝节丰富故事的密度，在暗中虎视眈眈又高远疏离。在兜转数年后再次重遇，时光叫人改变，偶尔风霜扑面，终于沉稳一点了，与故人再会面，一切似曾相识的景物都不一样了。那家只开了一年的书店在1959到1960那一年间的潮汐明灭，Florence梦里的鹭鸟和鳗鱼，倾颓的悬崖别墅被海水腐蚀，敲门鬼的闹腾成了不能说的秘密，Hardborough上人与人的缘分稀薄，它在编织又不在编织，是年过六十写出来的气质舒朗。有些人总教人对年长充满了期待。
评分penelope fitzgerald writes in a way that's seemingly effortless and nonchalant, but you just know that she cares more than anybody else
评分非常老派的narrative以及语言，觉得Kazuo Ishiguro的The Remains of the Day的语言风格居然和这个有点像，隐忍又英式冷幽默又悲伤。另外故事非常丧，文化改变不了社会，有文化的人自私自利，有自己的社会地位，可爱的是对文化没兴趣的底层民众，但文化改变不了他们，Florence最终明白自己居住了10年的小镇根本不需要什么书店！
评分比故事更值得玩味的是Penelope Fitzgerald的语言，带有一种英式的老派，又充满直接、有冲击力的淳朴质地，不像我所喜欢的其他英语作家，能让我很快熟悉并接受他们的语感。但这种新鲜感是以前的阅读中没有过的，并且她捕捉和展示细节的能力相当令人赞叹。
