A sleepy town is shaken from its postwar complacency when widow Florence (Emily Mortimer) opens a bookshop promoting the latest in modernist fiction. As if her championing of books like “Lolita” wasn't enough, Florence also manages to upset local bigwig Mrs. Gamart (Patricia Clarkson). Before long the town is awash with intrigue and Florence will have to rely on the support of her sole ally, reclusive bookworm Mr. Brundish (Bill Nighy). (UK 2017)
