Synopsis
Brilliant, idealistic Esme Garland moves to Manhattan armed with a prestigious scholarship at Columbia University. When Mitchell van LeuvenâÈ' a New Yorker with the bluest of blue New York bloodâÈ'captures her heart with his stunning good looks and a penchant for all things erotic, life seems truly glorious . . . until a thin blue line signals a wrinkle in EsmeâÈçs tidy plan. Before she has a chance to tell Mitchell about her pregnancy, he suddenly declares their sex life is as exciting as a cup of tea, and ends it all. Determined to master everything from Degas to diapers, Esme starts work at a small West Side bookstore, finding solace in George, the laconic owner addicted to spirulina, and Luke, the taciturn, guitar-playing night manager. The oddball customers are a welcome relief from ColumbiaâÈçs high-pressure halls, but the store is struggling to survive in this city where nothing seems to last. When Mitchell recants his criticism, his passion and promises are hard to resist. But if Esme gives him a second chance, will she, like her beloved bookstore, lose more than she can handle? A sharply observed and evocative tale of learning to face reality without giving up on your dreams, The Bookstore is sheer enchantment from start to finish.
Reviews
On May 8 2017, a reader said:
I read in clusters, actually in categories. An so it was also with this wonderful book. I have read dozens of books about bookstores and this was the best. I laughed and celebrated with esme when she was happy and cried with her when that bastard abandoned she and her baby. I am a 68 year old marine with five grown children of my own so I'm not a weeping Susan. Debrah meyler is a masterful story teller and I grateful to her for writting this book which I borrowed from the library and am thinking of steeling, but no, I shall buy a first edition and add it to my collection of authors I like and shall buy a cheaper copy to re-read. It bears another reading, maybe next year. I do so hope that she will see fit to write many more books else she will let that fine oxyford education down. If I ever get to england I intend to find her house and knock on her door. I would love to meet her.
