A.J. Fikry’s world is as bleak as his bookstore on Alice Island: his wife is gone, his shop is failing, and a rare Poe first edition has been stolen. When a curly-haired two-year-old in a pink romper turns up among his unsold inventory, Fikry’s solitude is shattered and his heart—and bookstore—are reborn.
