It's where some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century are forged--none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e is banned, Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous and influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of her beloved store itself is threatened when \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e' success brings other publishers to woo Joyce away. Her most cherished relationships are put to the test as Paris is plunged deeper into the Depression and many expatriate friends return to America. As she faces painful personal and financial crises, Sylvia--a woman who has made it her mission to honor the life-changing impact of books--must decide what Shakespeare and Company truly means to her.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKERRI MAHER\u003c\/b\u003e is the national bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Girl in White Gloves\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Kennedy Debutante\u003c\/i\u003e, and, under the name Kerri Majors, \u003ci\u003eThis Is Not a Writing Manual: Notes for the Young Writer in the Real World\u003c\/i\u003e.
