Your book was delightful, well written and delightful!I finished this book with a tissue in hand an a tear in my eye. What a fabulous book.
I really like this author, her writing is wonderful.This is not the first book I’ve read about a small, struggling independent book store (and the irony of the fact that I read it on my Kindle was not lost on me! But now the store is in jeopardy, and the past is catching up with her. May 1st 2012
It was adapted to film in 1992 as The Lover. In fuga dal suo passato, dalla sua famiglia, da un padre in cui ha smesso di credere. I've had this book for years and finally got to it!Maryann McFadden is the author of THE CEMETERY KEEPER'S WIFE, which debuts May 2018. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of
If only we could figure out how to revitalize our downtown.This is a "beach read" book.
This book was ok, didn’t wow me; it sometimes had a bit too much drama and I didn’t always like the characters (Ruth, at almost 65, acted more like she was 75 or 80).
We once had a thriving bookstore--no it's a vacant building. Highly recommended!There isn't a really good reason why I didn't enjoy this book. That initially attracted me to this book, but as I read it I was very impressed with the way the story developed.
I think my fantasy occupation would be as a bookstore owner, and I am worried about the fate of bookstores in general, and particularly small independent ones. I really loved the growth in both Lucy's and Ruth's attitudes toward life, and it was a satisfying read on many levels.The title attracted me to this book,and that is about the only thing I liked about this book.
"The Book Lover" is a book for lovers of books. Hence, to be indifferent to, much less openly disagree with, Nicholson Baker's Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper (Random House, $25.95) is to declare yourself an illiterate, an enemy of history, a cretin of the first order. 264 likes. By alternating the two main characters stories, it kept me engaged with them both, and I couldn't put it down. The Lover (French: L'Amant) is an autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, published in 1984 by Les Éditions de Minuit. Welcome back. By alternating the two main characters stories, it kept me engaged with them both, and I couldn't put it down. Yet,the true look into the publishing world is what keeps me from writing this whole book off. Enjoy!!Ms. Nevertheless, I'd like to counter the impression of those other positive reviews in an effort to speak truth to my readerly cohorts.I had determined to go easy on this book because it's clear the writer was scribing from the heart.
It has been translated into 43 languages and was awarded the 1984 Prix Goncourt. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week?
Ruth Hardaway knows all about shattered dreams.
Lucy is a self-published writer who is struggling to make the next big leap in the world of publishing. Anyone who loves to read or has ever dreamed of writing a book will absolutely fall in love with this story. Then I read the reviews here and began to think I had some misplaced genetic material and, really, I'm from Mars. It was pure chance that I came across I absolutely loved this book!
I think it wasn't hard-edged enough for me. Every educated person wants to be known as a " book lover."
Actually this book is a tribute to all the wanna-be authors and to all the self-published authors.
Also Lucy overstepped her bounds often with many people. With two bookish characters making up the main story line, I already knew that I was in for a treat!3.5. There are really two main characters in the book.
Sweet, but nothing earth shattering.The Book was well written and interesting.
What they have isn't working.
So real and heartfelt. Ruth is the owner of an independent book store who is wondering if she's been at the business for too long.

For thirty years she's devoted her life to her book store, trying to bury her painful past. The cover made it seem like it was a book for book lovers but it wasn't really about books.
Real life wouldn't have worked out that way.
Published It had the usual and not unexpected love/romance struggles, with a few twists before all ends well.A wonderful story about living through betrayal and dealing with a painful past. The central question of this research is how a literary genre such as the novel becomes a medium in the visual arts, exactly as video or installation could be.
Unlike many books, I couldn't predict how things were going to turn out, and I couldn't wait to find out what happened! If you leave the story behind and look at what the author has to say about self publishing, book sellers and the publishing world as a whole, it is a good "what not to do","how you may succeed" guide for aspiring writers and indie book sellers. But now the store is in jeopardy, and the past is catching up with her. The story of an aspiring writer and a long-time bookstore owner whose lives cross in a wonderful way, resonated with me in oh so many ways.
Why give it 2 stars instead of 1 you may ask?

The well developed characters and subject will make this a sure selection for book clubs." Seriously! Well, Ms. McFaddeMs.
What a fabulous book.
She forced all her major characters to have a happy ending. That initially attracted me to this book, but as I read it I was very impressed with the way the story developed. Then I read the reviews here and began to think I had some misplaced genetic material and, really, I'm from Mars.
The rest of the storyline was pretty predictable and unrealistic.
