I just finished The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald. It was one of the book's on the display table at the library. Usually these are books that are pretty well liked, but I've found them hit or miss for me. This one was unfortunately a miss. I felt bad for Florence, the main character who opened the bookshop. It just seemed that no one wanted her to succeed. I thought the book could have been so much more entertaining than it was. The ghost had very little significance in the haunted bookshop and they characters didn't really develop into anything special. I'd probably give it 2 1/2 starts.
