«La llibreria» is the novel by Penelope Fitzgerald, published by Impedimenta in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
Florence Green, an enterprising woman, decides to open a small bookstore in a Suffolk village. Her project meets with opposition that is courteous in manner but stubborn at heart: the local establishment corners her into giving up. The spark of the conflict is the controversial Olympia Press edition of «Lolita», by Nabokov.
Translation by Jaume C. Pons Alorda. Number 167 in the Impedimenta collection. Finalist for the Booker Prize.
For readers of classic fiction who appreciate stories with a tragicomic tone, the world of bookstores and the English rural atmosphere.
