Bücher von Alba Donati

"Alba Donati was used to her hectic life working as a book publicist in Italy, a life that made her happy and allowed her to meet prominent international authors, but she was ready to make a change. One day she decided to return to Lucignana, the small village in the Tuscan hills where she was born. There she opened a tiny but enchanting bookshop in a lovely little cottage on a hill, surrounded by gardens filled with roses and peonies. With fewer than 200 year-round residents, Alba's shop seemed unlikely to succeed, but it soon sparked the enthusiasm of book lovers both nearby and across Italy. After surviving a fire and pandemic restrictions, the 'Bookshop on the Hill' soon became a refuge and destination for an ever-growing community. The locals took pride in the bookshop, from Alba's centenarian mother to her childhood friends and the many volunteers who help in the day-to-day running of the shop. And in short time it has become a literary destination, with many devoted readers coming from afar to browse, enjoy a cup of tea, and find comfort in the knowledge that Alba will find the perfect read for them"--

'Romano, ich mach in meinem Heimatort eine Buchhandlung auf.' 'Und, wieviel Einwohner hat der?' 'Hundertsiebzig.' 'Du bist verrückt geworden!' Es ist nur ein Holzhäuschen in einem Garten - aber Alba Donatis Begeisterung für Literatur und Leser:innen machte etwas ganz Besonderes daraus. Ein halbes Jahr lang dürfen wir miterleben, wie sie und ihre Freund:innen trotz der Pandemie diesen Traum wahr machen. Und für alle, die gerade eine Italienreise planen: Ja, dies ist eine wahre Geschichte - fahren Sie nach Lucignana und besuchen Sie die vielleicht kleinste und bestimmt charmanteste Buchhandlung der Welt.
