Looking for Yesterday's Bookstore
General Fiction寻找昨日书店
(us) Amy Meyerson
Uncle Billy is a closely guarded taboo in Miranda's family. He has disappeared for 16 years. If the news of his death had not come, he would still be the name that cannot be mentioned. What surprised everyone even more was the inheritance that came with it: a bookstore with a history of more than 20 years, and the recipient: Miranda. It was a maze-like bookstore that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. Miranda's last memory of Billy 16 years ago was also here. In the process of reviving her bookstore business, another legacy left by Billy - a "literary treasure hunt" - gradually emerged. Miranda needed to solve all the puzzles, and the answers were hidden in famous books. They pointed to Billy's unknown past: "Alice in Wonderland" answered the question of Billy's isolation. During his childhood, "Frankenstein" brought out his obsession with his beloved girl for more than ten years. Behind "Jane Eyre" is the tense and delicate relationship between him and his sister. "Afraid of Flying" tells the story of his gloomy past in which he used his body and desire to alleviate the pain of losing his wife, as well as the truth that he has never spoken... Even the cruelest story must be told to you in the gentlest way.
