This book tells the story of Rosemary Savage, who leaves Tasmania after her mother's death and travels to New York in search of a new life. There she finds work in the Arcade bookshop and becomes entangled in the lives and secrets of her eccentric colleagues, Pearl the pre-operative Opera singing transsexual, Walter Geist the secretive albino manager, money obsessed owner George Pike, fat, gay Arthur in Art, rare book specialist Mr Mitchell and nonfiction's fastidious, obsessive Oscar. As she searches for meaning, love and a lost manuscript she finds that some things are not as they seem and some people you will never understand.
A book about literature, the love of reading, and finding out who you are meant to be.
