Gabrielle Zevin is the author of eight novels, including Elsewhere and, most recently, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, which is a New York Times bestseller.
"Who the hell are you?" A.J. asks the baby.
For no apparent reason, she stops crying and smiles at him. "Maya," she answers.
That was easy, A.J. thinks. "How old are you?" he asks.
Maya holds up two fingers.
"You're two?"
Maya smiles again and holds up her arms to him."
A.J. Fikry, the grumpy owner of Island Books, is going through a hard time: his bookshop is failing, he has lost his beloved wife, and a prized rare first edition has been stolen.
But one day A.J. finds two-year-old Maya sitting on the bookshop floor, with a note attached to her asking the owner to look after her. His life - and Maya's - is changed forever.

Just like A.J. F said, the book will find you. Yes, it’s nothing special but finds me at the right time.
評分溫暖的小說
評分A very sad story well written, worth reading.
評分A easy and pleasant read. Loved all the literary references, introducing me several writers and fictions. A little bit cliche, but touching and heart-warming. Would be suitable for sensitive person and book-lovers I guess.
評分書裏有很多可參考的作者和書籍值得放到reading list裏麵,這是我喜歡的一部分。A.J.是個蠻有趣的人物,尤其在對書的品味上,對我而言是個很特彆的人。但是整個書的情節以及其它人物設定和關係卻顯得有些普通吧。我也是在嘗試用各種方式讀普魯斯特的追憶似灰年華,看到主人公讀不下去這件事對目前的我來說還有些許安慰哈哈。英文原版蠻好讀的,詞匯也比較簡單,能感受到作者的文筆,還是值得讀一下的。
