Diary of a Tuscan Bookshop - Alba Donati

Alba used to live a hectic life working in Florence; a life that made her happy but also left her feeling like a woman constantly on the run. So one day she decides to go back to the small village in the Tuscan hills where she was born and open a tiny bookshop.

Alba’s enterprise seems doomed from day one, but it surprisingly sparks the enthusiasm of many across Tuscany – and beyond.

Inspiring and deeply moving, this is both an ode to the power of reading and a celebration of booksellers everywhere – the true heroes of the literary world.
