The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher is a can't-miss historical fiction title for anyone with a passion for books. In 1919, Sylvia Beach opens the famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, which quickly becomes a gathering place for some of the brightest minds of the era, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce. In fact, when Joyce's Ulysses is banned, Sylvia takes a chance and publishes the title herself. This one act tests the bookseller's friendships, puts her business at risk, and leads to a personal and professional crisis that will force her to decide just how much the bookstore means to her.
