A lost bookshop on a quiet street in Dublin is waiting to be found. Seeing it is not easy. But a few desperate people, fighting their way through their fears and illusions, find the right path. Their love of books helps them overcome their feelings of abandonment, meet like-minded people, and eventually choose their own path. The novel combines several time lines: from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. And from its pages, writers and collectors, travellers and library curators wink at the reader. They know that there is a place for this story on your shelf.
