The Bookshop follows a free-spirited widow who risks everything to open a bookshop in a conservative coastal town. While bringing about a surprising cultural awakening through the works of eclectic authors, she earns the polite but ruthless opposition of a local grand dame and the support and affection of a reclusive book loving widower. As obstacles amass and bear suspicious signs of a local power struggle, she is forced to ask: is there a place for a bookshop in a town that may not want one? |
