young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919 
she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature itself.
Shakespeare and Company is more than a bookstore and lending library: Many of the prominent
writers of the Lost Generation  like Ernest Hemingway  consider it a second home. 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 Ulysses is banned  Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of
Shakespeare and Company. 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 Ulysses' 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.
