Anyone who loves the history of literature must read Kerri Maher's "The Paris Bookseller." In 1919, a young American named Sylvia Beach decides to open an English-language bookstore, Shakespeare & Company, in Paris. Over the next several years, her store slowly becomes a gathering hub for the great literary and artistic minds of the 20s. More than any other writer, Sylvia forms a tight friendship and working relationship with James Joyce, who enlists her help to publish his controversial novel "Ulysses." The fallout from that decision follows Sylvia for years, even as economic difficulties and a looming war threaten the existence of her store and of Paris itself.
