En 1959, Florence Green est une passionnée de littérature et veut réaliser le rêve de sa vie : ouvrir une librairie. Elle s'installe à Hardborough, un village du nord de l'Angleterre, et achète The Old House, une vieille bâtisse afin d'ouvrir sa boutique. Elle est accueillie avec suspicion car on ne rompt pas ainsi la routine de la bourgade et on imagine mal une femme gérer seule un commerce. Seul Edmund Brundish lui apporte son soutien. Lorsque la libraire se met à vendre le sulfureux roman de Nabokov, Lolita, elle s'attire les foudres de Violet Gamart, une notable respectée et attachée aux bonnes moeurs...

00:30Many of us are not at all convinced by a sudden transformation of the old house into a shop.
00:36You do understand, don't you?
00:39Dear madam, no one has plucked up courage enough to sell books in this forsaken coin of the world.
00:46My close customer.
00:48He so jealously guards his privacy after the tragic death of his beloved wife.
00:53You can't run into this place by yourself.
00:55You don't really look old enough.
00:57Or strong enough.
00:58You look old, but you don't look strong.
01:01Things have taken quite a dip in your business of late, haven't they?
01:04She's a very powerful woman. Does that not concern you?
01:07No.
01:10Many of us believe it should be a local art centre.
01:14She wants to get rid of you and she won't stop.
01:16She can't do that.
01:18It's my bookshop. It's my home.
01:20No.
01:21Leave her alone. The woman's done nothing to you.
01:26But you mustn't speak to me that way.
01:28I could just put a bullet through her.
01:31There's a possible buyout for your shop.
01:34The shop is not for sale.
01:38Joy, you have to succeed if you give everything you have.
01:41I've only done what I thought was right.
01:47You make me believe once more in things.
01:51Things that I thought forgotten.
01:58Well, there's life, there's hope.
02:00Oh, God.
02:01What a horrifying thought.
