The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher is a captivating historical fiction novel that delves into the life of Sylvia Beach, the founder of Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris. Set in 1919, the story follows Sylvia as she opens her bookstore, which becomes a literary hub for prominent writers like Ernest Hemingway and a place where important literary friendships are forged. When Sylvia takes a bold risk to publish James Joyce’s controversial novel, “Ulysses,” under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company, she faces personal and financial challenges as the success of the book threatens her relationships and the future of her store.
The novel beautifully portrays Sylvia’s dedication to honoring the transformative power of books amidst personal and financial crises. It highlights the impact of publishing “Ulysses” on Sylvia’s life, showcasing the risks she takes and the costs she endures for literature. The narrative weaves through Sylvia’s relationships, especially with fellow bookseller Adrienne Monnier, and explores the complexities of publishing one of the most influential books of the century.
Maher’s storytelling skillfully brings to life interwar Paris, featuring appearances from literary icons like James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and Ernest Hemingway. The novel offers a rich tapestry of characters and events, painting a vivid picture of a lost age where literature thrived amidst personal struggles and societal challenges.
