Also known as The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry (US), this is a book that would appeal to book lovers. A.J. Fikry is a lonely, hard-to-please, irritated widower who runs a book store at Alice Island. One day he finds that his rare copy of Tamerlane<\/em> is stolen and a few days later a child is abandoned at the bookstore with a note asking Fikry to be her guardian. The story moves on to the changes that come in Fikry\u2019s life due to the unprecedented turn of events. The author has managed to portray the different aspects of Fikry\u2019s personality and his eccentric behavior in a lucid manner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
