About the Author
Sophie Divry is a French writer and a journalist contributing to publications such as Le Monde Diplomatique. She lives in Lyon, France. She likes egglplants, olive oil, and her mother's homemade jam. She hates cars, is a feminist, and has a phobia about open doors. She likes swimming in the sea, lakes or rivers, but does not like buying a book without knowing what's inside it. The Library of Unrequited Love is her first novel.
Sian Reynolds is a past winner of the Scott Moncrieff Translation prize, and has translated many French writers, from Fernand Braudel to Fred Vargas.
Review
"It's funny, sad, and agreeably discursive . . . There isn't a dull page or even a dull sentence . . . In short, this is a very accomplished and delightful debut."―Allan Massie, The Scotsman
"We're in Anita Brookner territory here . . . Sophie Divry brilliantly captures the voice of a frustrated lady librarian past her prime."―The Evening Standard
"[An] eloquent debut . . . Cultural knowledge and insights into human nature are perfectly woven in this original novel, which deserves all its critical praise."―Rachel Kitson, The Independent
"Thoroughly entertaining, but also tinged with sadness, The Library of Unrequited Love is a slim, strongly written novel."―The National

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. One morning a librarian finds a reader who has been locked in overnight. She begins to talk to him, a one-way conversation full of sharp insight and quiet outrage. As she rails against snobbish senior colleagues, an ungrateful and ignorant public, the strictures of the Dewey Decimal System and the sinister expansionist conspiracies of the books themselves, two things shine through: her unrequited passion for a researcher named Martin, and an ardent and absolute love for the arts. A delightful divertissement for the discerning bookworm. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
