The last bookstore in London: follow that light and walk towards that light.
Some people use this time to learn cooking and baking at home and upgrade their cooking skills; Some people hunt for knowledge outside their professional scope and let themselves master one more skill. The so-called skills do not overwhelm the public; Some people soar in the sea of books like bookworms, absorbing nutritional knowledge and subliming their souls.
It is said that there is always one on the road when reading and traveling. Where the footsteps can't reach, words can take you; You can feel the charm from books where you can't see them.
Reading is a journey about the soul.
Speaking of reading, I think of the best-selling book The Last Bookstore in London.
Grace, a young girl, happened to be a clerk in a bookstore. Influenced by the pilot George, she embarked on the road of reading. During the Blitzkrieg, Grace nourished herself and gave herself strength by reading, but at the same time, she constantly influenced and helped people through that war-torn era and gained her love and career.
As soon as this book was published, it quickly reached 1 on the The New York Times bestseller list, and its wonderful and soul-stirring story touched millions of readers.
0 1 Reading is a habit and gives people spiritual strength.
Madeleine? Martin is a writer of historical novels and a best-selling author of USA-Today and The New York Times.
She spent most of her childhood in a military camp in Germany, so she has her own unique views on war. She has always wanted to write novels about World War II.
In the last bookstore in London, the author paid attention to Grace. During World War II, Grace saved people's lives as an air raid defense inspector at night and became a reader to save people's souls during the day.
Reading is a habit of people. During the war, people's enthusiasm for reading could not be stopped.
Partono? Luo street is a busy street and is very popular with people. There are bookstores on both sides of the street. Even at the beginning of the war, even when the lights are off, people will still queue up here to buy books, because people can't do without reading and books, especially when the war is raging, especially during the long nights spent in every subway station.
Only reading can calm the mind. Look for that ray of light in the ocean of words, put your emotions in a daze, heal your inner wounds, temporarily forget your pain, bid farewell to your sadness, and spend the dark time.
The old Partono? Luo street was attacked and the whole street was ablaze. The raging fire turned the square into a human purgatory. Under the action of fire and wind, millions of books fluttered around, burning more and more brightly, and a book instantly turned to ashes.
As an air raid defense inspector, Grace was unable to save books under heavy artillery fire, and her inner pain and despair were beyond words.
Later, when the bookstore in Primrose Hill was attacked, Grace thought that the reading club was dissolved. Unexpectedly, the members of the reading club felt that they had received Grace's help and took the initiative to repair the Primrose Hill Bookstore.
Of course, more importantly, Primrose Hill is the last bookstore in London. They don't want to give up the bookstore anyway.
Friends of the book club, friends who came together because of reading, not only helped Grace to keep the bookstore in Primrose Hill, but also helped London to keep the last bookstore, not only helping herself, but also helping millions of readers in Qian Qian to keep the bookstore.
Encountered a romantic story related to reading.
Some people say that love is not sweet talk under the shadow of flowers, nor moonlight, nor gentle tears, nor strong control. Love is based on the same interests. I know you with three popular words!
There is a romantic love story about Primrose Hill Bookstore.
In Primrose Hill, a man and a woman are reading with their backs to a big tree. Later, I found that they were reading the same book and had the same reading hobby, which instantly brought each other closer.
After they got together, they opened a bookstore in the name of love, named after the place where they first met, from which Primrose Hill Bookstore came.
A beautiful meeting makes a love, and a beautiful love story makes people feel the beauty of love and the tenderness brought by books.
The first meeting between Grace and George, the pilot, was very dramatic.
Grace, who doesn't like reading, works in a bookstore, which is a challenging job in itself. What's more, the books in Primrose Hill Bookstore are in disorder, which has nothing to do with cleanliness. In this way, this work is more challenging.
When she first started work, Grace was very nervous because she was not familiar with books and bookstores. However, the world is so interesting that the more I worry, the more it will come as scheduled.
When Evans goes out for coffee, the client needs a copy of Black Eyes. For this book, Grace didn't know which shelf to put in which corner, so she had to bite the bullet and look for it. At this time, George offered to help and find books for customers, which eliminated Grace's embarrassment.
At that time, he was a frequent visitor to the bookstore, and she was a novice in the bookstore. When she knows that she wants to organize books, they will study and discuss together.
George recommended a favorite classic book, The Count of Monte Cristo, to Grace, and started her reading journey from this book. After the war began, George joined the army.
After that, the two exchanged letters frequently, talking about life and literary works in letters. Unconsciously, the two hearts are closely linked, and the seeds of love have already taken root in their hearts.
After the war, George returned to Primrose Hill Bookstore to visit Grace, and they embraced happily.
Taking books as a link, vibrating at the same frequency in the spiritual level, romantic and beautiful, is a deep communication of the soul.
Love is infinitely desirable because it is full of romance.
There is a feeling that affection is better than affection.
Mrs Weatherford is a good friend of Grace's mother. After her husband died in World War I, she lived alone with her son Colin. Grace and her good friend Vivian went to London from Drayton. They stayed at Mrs. Weatherford's house.
Mrs Weatherford is a passionate and diligent person. She cooks delicious food for children in different ways and likes to keep the house clean. Even the air in the house smells of soap.
Of course, these beautiful things are all before the war.
After the war broke out, Colin joined the army, especially after knowing that Colin was killed, Mrs. Weatherford was a completely different person, depressed and lost her former spirits. She didn't clean the house, didn't pick up the letters scattered on the ground, didn't go to the service team to help, and even refused to go to the subway station to avoid air strikes.
No matter how much Grace tried to persuade her, Mrs. Weatherford wouldn't listen. She feels that everything doesn't matter, and everything is meaningless.
Until one day, Grace found a boy in rags, sitting in the last row of the reader's meeting every day, quietly listening to her reading, and then left first. Grace said to Mrs. Weatherford, "I think this boy needs your help." Although Mrs Weatherford didn't speak, there was an imperceptible light in her eyes.
Sure enough, the next day, Mrs Weatherford baked bread and took it to the reading party in Primrose Hill Bookstore. When she learned that the boy named Jimmy and his sister lived alone, a feeling of pity came to her.
Mrs. Weatherford began to get busy again, went to the service team to help orphans make clothes, baked cakes every day and sent them to the book club, invited two children to spend Christmas at home, and finally adopted two children.
Mrs Weatherford transferred her mother's love for her children to her two children.
Evans feels the same way. Her daughter is a lot like Grace, about the same age. Unfortunately, a few years ago, the mother and daughter left in a car accident. Evans's life was eclipsed. He was not interested in anything, including the management of Primrose Hill Bookstore. He only likes reading in the bookstore.
Grace has just started to appear in the bookstore. He treated Grace badly and even said he didn't need a shop assistant. What Grace does includes sorting out classified books, promoting bookstores, giving coupons, holding reading parties, and even buying new books. He always silently supports Grace and believes that she can do well.
The old father Evans fully affirmed Grace's ability and gave her the bookstore, apartment and real estate under his name through a lawyer.
Mrs. Weatherford and Evans are both people who have experienced cruel wars and sorrow for life and death. They take care of those who need more care and try their best to make life better for the children who witnessed the war.
Compassionate love, affectionate love.
Not family, but better than family.
Write it at the end
Mao Mu said that reading is a portable shelter, and forming the habit of reading is equivalent to building a shelter for yourself, which can almost avoid all the disasters in life.
Although reading can't directly help you solve the problems in life, it can make you more calm, more calm, more rational and more courageous to treat life, instead of being a loser or an evader in life.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as you have love in your heart and desire in your heart, then read, merge the small flames in your heart into a beam of light, break the darkness, eliminate the fear, and move towards the light, forget the sorrow.
