The Paris Bookseller
I finished Kerri Maher's novel several days ago
Devoured it is a better description
Couldn’t put it down
And I can’t stop thinking about it
Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier
And Paris in the 1920s and
And Hemmingway and Joyce and
The writing of Ulysses and
Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas and
Sylvia’s mother Eleanor
And sister Cyprian
The lesbians of the Left Bank
Stories of extraordinary women
So richly rendered
In an astonishing historical novel
That makes you want to travel back in time
To a place where
Bookshops encourage loitering and
Reading and discussion and
Art.
