The Bookshop, The Gate Of Angels, The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald
Three compact novels explore solitary characters negotiating limits of society, love and belief: one follows a determined woman who opens a small coastal bookshop and meets quiet resistance and social pettiness that test her resolve; another evokes early-twentieth-century Cambridge, where an accident brings two very different people together and forces them to confront questions of science, faith and intimacy; the third is a lyrical historical novella that imagines the inner life and longing of a young German Romantic poet as he pursues an elusive, transcendent ideal.
