Selection: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

A likable literary love story about selling books and finding love: A.J. Fikry, the cantankerous owner of Island Books, is despondent after losing his beloved wife and witnessing the ever-declining number of sales at his small, quirky bookstore. His plan to “drink himself to death" is derailed when he discovers a bright and precocious two-year-old who has been abandoned in his store.  Little Maya takes to him immediately and he adopts her, not being able to bear the idea of putting her in the foster system. As word spreads of his efforts at single parenting, the store becomes a community focus once again, and everyone takes a hand in raising young Maya—including a charming book sales rep whom he had treated terribly before the child came into his life and softened his heart. Filled with interesting characters, a deep knowledge of bookselling, wonderful critiques of classic titles, and very funny depictions of book clubs and author events, this tale will prove irresistible to book lovers everywhere.
