The Ladies of Bloomsbury

"Bloomsbury Books" — a landmark English bookshop that actually existed and resisted change for a hundred years. Throughout this time, it was run by men who strictly adhered to the rules set by the CEO. But in 1950, the world... is changing, including the world of books and publishing. The bookstore brings together three heroines, each of whom wants to change her life; they are at a crossroads, torn between duty and their dreams. Are their ambitions strong enough? Will they find their voice? In the plot of the novel, the reader will encounter real cultural and literary figures, representatives of the bohemia of that time: Daphne du Maurier, Ellen Doubleday, Sonia Blair (the widow of George Orwell), Samuel Beckett, and Peggy Guggenheim. If you want to immerse yourself in the literary life of the 1950s or imagine yourself as a character in the film "Midnight in Paris," this book is for you!
