The Bookseller at the End of the World
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
The Bookseller at the End of the World by Ruth Shaw
Ruth Shaw weaves together stories of the characters who visit her bookshops, musings about favourite books, and bittersweet stories from her full and varied life. She's sailed through the Pacific for years, been held up by pirates, worked at Sydney's Kings Cross with drug addicts and prostitutes, campaigned on numerous environmental issues, and worked the yacht Breaksea Girl with her husband, Lance. Underlining all her wanderings and adventures are some very deep losses and long-held pain. Balancing that out is her beautiful love story with Lance, and her delightful sense of humour. This will make you weep and make you laugh and make you want to read more books - and make you want to visit Ruth and her two wee bookshops.
An extraordinary story-- Shaun Bythell * Shaun Bythell, THE DIARY OF A BOOKSELLER *
Ruth Shaw runs two wee bookshops in remote Manapouri in the far south of New Zealand.
