The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

A. J. Fikry, the irascible owner of Island Books, has recently endured
some tough years: his wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the
worst sales in its history, and his prized possession--a rare edition of
Poe poems--has been stolen. Over time, he has given up on people, and
even the books in his store, instead of offering solace, are yet another
reminder of a world that is changing too rapidly. Until a most
unexpected occurrence gives him the chance to make his life over and see
things anew.
