Inspired by an extraordinary true story...
Paris,1920. On the bohemian Left Bank,Sylvia runs a little bookshop called Shakespeare and Company. Here she welcomes the greatest writers of the day - and from the moment James Joyce finally walks through her door,the two become friends.
When Joyce's controversial novel Ulyssesis banned,Sylvia is determined to publish it herself.
But championing the most scandalous book of the century will come at a cost - and Sylvia finds herself risking ruin,her reputation and her heart,all in the name of the life-changing power of books.
Set in post-war Paris,The Paris Bookseller is a sweeping story of love,courage and betrayal - and a breathtakingly beautiful love letter to books.
