One day she decided to return to Lucignana, the small village in the Tuscan hills where she was born. There she opened a tiny but enchanting bookshop in a lovely little cottage on a hill, surrounded by gardens filled with roses and peonies. With fewer than 200 year-round residents, Alba's shop seemed unlikely to succeed, but it soon sparked the enthusiasm of book lovers both nearby and across Italy. After surviving a fire and pandemic restrictions, the "Bookshop on the Hill" soon became a refuge and destination for an ever-growing community. The locals took pride in the bookshop, from Alba's centenarian mother to her childhood friends and the many volunteers who help in the day-to-day running of the shop. And in short time it has become a literary destination, with many devoted readers coming from afar to browse, enjoy a cup of tea, and find comfort in the knowledge that Alba will find the perfect read for them. 546 $a Translated from the Italian. 600 10 $a Donati, Alba. 600 10 $a Donati, Alba $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Women booksellers $z Lucca (Province) $z Lucca (Province) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Booksellers and bookselling $z Lucca (Province) $z Lucca (Province) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Bookstore owners $z Lucca (Province) $z Lucca (Province) $v Diaries. 651 7 $a Italy $z Lucca (Province) $2 fast 655 7 $a Large print books. 655 7 $a Biographies. 655 7 $a Diaries. 700 1 $a Pala, Elena, $e translator. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000356387462 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20240411010117.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20231228013912.0 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20231219014800.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20231208010145.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013103.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231116010049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CEEA3F22844D11EE88C949DB3FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
