Independent bookstore owner Sophie Bernstein is burned out on books. Mourning the death of her husband, the loss of her favorite manager, her only child's lack of aspiration, and the grim state of the world, she fantasizes about going into hiding in the secret back room of her store. Meanwhile, renowned poet Raymond Chaucer has published a new collection, and rumors that he's to blame for his wife's suicide have led to national cancellations of his publicity tour. He intends to set the record straight-with an ultrafine Sharpie-but only one shop still plans to host him: Sophie's. Fearful of potential repercussions from angry customers, Sophie asks Clemi-bookstore events coordinator, aspiring novelist, and daughter of a famed literary agent-to cancel Raymond's appearance. But Clemi suspects Raymond might be her biological father, and she can't say no to the chance of finding out for sure. This big-hearted screwball comedy features an intergenerational cast of oblivious authors and over-qualified booksellers-as well as a Russian Tortoise named Kurt Vonnegut Jr.-and captures the endearing quirks of some of the best kinds of people: the ones who love good books. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Books and reading $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bookstores $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Paternity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Washington (D.C.) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Morden, Alexa. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14815519?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9781400234110_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20221005010622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14F0DB5A447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
