Even though the characters--including the MC-- in The Bookshop of Yesterdays are not always likeable or even sympathetic, they are, in the final analysis, quite human, and isn't that really what a good author strives for -- characters that are real and human? Well, perhaps a couple of the minor characters (Charlie and Lee) are sympathetic. Given that, the story was a veritable page-turner for me--a mystery with no crime, an intellectual and literary scavenger hunt, a family drama replete with romance and tragedy. It is a fitting and enjoyable nod to Shakespeare's The Tempest.
