Time Out Bookstore, alongside Trigger Marketing, are pleased to be able to host a preview screening of The Bookshop at Rialto Cinemas Newmarket.
About the film: Directed by Isabel Coixet (Learning to Drive) and starring Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson and Bill Nighy.
Set in a small town in 1959 England, it is the story of a woman who decides, against polite but ruthless local opposition, to open a bookshop, a decision which becomes a political minefield.
The Bookshop is a sumptuous cinematic adaptation which celebrates Bibliophilia itself, based on Penelope Fitzgerald's celebrated novel of 1978.
“A good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life, and as such it must surely be a necessary commodity.” Penelope Fitzgerald - The Bookshop
