Meet a new book by the author of “The Society of Jane Austen”! “Books of Bloomsbury” is a landmark English bookstore that actually existed and resisted change for a hundred years. During all that time, it was run by men who strictly followed the company director’s rulebook. But in 1950 the world changes—along with the world of books and publishing. The bookstore brings together three heroines, each wanting to change her life: they are at a crossroads, torn between duty and their own dreams. In the novel’s plot, readers will encounter real cultural and literary figures—representatives of the bohemian world of that era: Daphne du Maurier, Ellen Doubleday, Sonia Blair (George Orwell’s widow), Samuel Beckett, and Peggy Guggenheim. If you want to immerse yourself in the literary life of the 1950s—or imagine yourself as a hero of the film “Midnight in Paris”—this book is for you!
