Auspicious Wish
At this very moment, for the peoples and the nations of the earth, may not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard.
Rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase, and may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.

Book Introduction:
    "The Bookshop" is set in a small East Anglian coastal town, where
    Florence Green decides, against polite but ruthless local
    opposition to open a bookshop.  Hardborough becomes a
    battleground, as small towns so easily do. Florence has tried to
    change the way things have always been done, and as a result
    she has to take on not only the people who have made themselves
    important, but natural and even supernatural forces too.

Author Biography:
    Penelope Fitzgerald was born in December 1916. She was
    educated at Somerville College, Oxford and she worked for the

    1978, "The Beginning of Spring" in 1988 and "The Gate of Angels"
    in 1990 - were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. She won the prize
    in 1979 for Offshore. Penelope Fitzgerald died in April 2000 aged
