What I found was something equally enjoyable, though entirely unexpected – a treasure for lovers of reading and heartwarming stories. It sounded as though it could be a mystery, the sort where a seasoned bookseller uses clues from the novels he loves to track down the thief that stole his prized possession, or maybe, judging from the baby in a basket on the front cover, a tale of magical realism, one in which Fikry came alive out of a book as an infant only to find tragedy. 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.Ī bookstore, you say? A rare book of poetry, you say? Sign me up! Still, upon opening it’s pages I was still unsure what sort of arc the story of A.J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. ![]() The jacket copy thrown around on the internet was enticingly vague:Ī. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin with little idea of what it was about – but even the little bit that I knew made it sound like an intriguing read. ![]() I started reading The Storied Life of A.J. ![]()
