Alba used to live a hectic life, working as a book publicist in Florence - a life that made her happy but also left her feeling like a woman constantly on the run. So one day she decides go back to the small village in the Tuscan hills where she was born and open a tiny bookshop. Alba's enterprise seems doomed from day one, but it surprisingly sparks the enthusiasm of many across Tuscany - and beyond. And after surviving a fire and the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the 'Bookshop on the Hill' soon becomes a refuge and beacon for an ever-growing community of readers. Inspiring and deeply moving, this is both an ode to the power reading and a celebration of booksellers everywhere - the true heroes of the literary world.
