Florence Green (Emily Mortimer), a widow who risks everything to open up a bookshop – the first shop of its kind in the seaside town of Hardborough, England. Fighting damp, cold and considerable local apathy, she struggles to establish herself but soon her fortunes change for the better. By exposing the local townsfolk to the best literature of the day, she opens their eyes. Her activities bring her a kindred spirit in the figure of Mr. Brundish (Bill Nighy) who is also sick of the town’s stale atmosphere. But this mini social revolution soon brings her fierce enemies, beginning a struggle not just for the bookshop but for the very heart and soul of the town. Starts in cinemas May 24.
