It also stirred a buzz among U.S. fans of the sort of Brit-lit fiction that is distinguished by keenly observed social commentary, a delicately calibrated balance of wit and poignancy and graceful, seductive prose.

To be fair, "The Bookshop" is unmistakably an English book, its leisurely pace and very civilized demeanor camouflaging a hornet's nest of dastardly, spiteful acts in a small East Anglian town.

There are all sorts of wonderful eccentrics wandering through the pages of "The Bookshop," and it is to Fitzgerald's credit that these strange characters never cross the line into caricature.

Penelope Fitzgerald’s second novel, her first to be short-listed for England’s prestigious Booker Prize, is set in the small East Anglian town of Hardborough in 1959.
Fitzgerald casts a cool, sympathetic eye on this small-town battleground, on its often comically animated residents, and on one courageous woman’s quest for principled self-fulfillment.

 Powell's Books - The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In 1959 Florence Green, a kindhearted widow with a small inheritance, risks everything to open a bookshop — the only bookshop — in the seaside town of Hardborough.
"Penelope Fitzgerald's novel The Bookshop is a little gem, a vintage narrative — first published in 1978 — of parochial English life in the late 1950s, a classic whose force as a piece of physical and moral map making has not merely lasted but has actually improved with the passage of years."
The style is understated but exact, and the crystalline and amused observation of small country town people, speech, ways, animals and landscapes gives continuous pleasure, especially the 1950s bookshop interior, with the boy who comes in every day after school to read another chapter of I Flew with the Fuhrer."
