What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Charming… Readers beware: will cause the irresistible desire to open a small bookstore.” –Kirkus Reviews
“This memoir is about the creation of the bookshop but also about so much more. This is a love letter to the town of Lucignana and the Italian literary scene as well as a meditation on Donati’s sometimes difficult relationships with family. Her prose is poetic, even melodic at times, and her insights into both books and readers are delightful.” –Booklist
“Alba Donati’s Diary of a Tuscan Bookshop is not only a work of significant beauty, it’s inspiring about the continuing life of books, and about the ways in which our lives can change and our dreams can come true, if only we insist on believing in changes and dreams.” –Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours
