This book is a sweet treat for all the book lovers. It revolves around a 39-yr-old man whose life is falling apart; his wife just died; he's broke and his valuable edition of Edgar Allan Poe has been stolen while he was drunk.
The smell of pages, the feel of an old library and the realistic description of Fikry's bookstore by the author surely engages the readers and make them curious to know 'what will happen next'.
