Fiction
In the tradition of The Cookbook Collector comes a funny,
romantic novel about a young woman finding her calling
while
saving a used bookstore. Maggie Duprès, recently "involuntarily separated from
payroll" at a Silicon Valley startup, is whiling away her
days in The Dragonfly's Used Books, a Mountain View
institution, waiting for the Next Big Thing to come along. When the opportunity arises for her to network at a Bay
Area
book club, she jumps at the chance-even if it means having
to read Lady Chatterley's Lover, a book she hasn't
encountered since college, in an evening. But the edition
she finds at the bookstore is no Penguin Classics
Chatterley-it's an ancient hardcover with notes in the
margins between two besotted lovers of long ago. What
Maggie
finds in her search for the lovers and their fate, and
what
she learns about herself in the process, will surprise and
move readers. Witty and sharp-eyed in its treatment of tech world
excesses, but with real warmth at its core, The Moment of
Everything is a wonderful read.
