Set against the backdrop of late 1930s Italy, this poignant and atmospheric novel delves into the lives of an aristocratic Jewish family in Ferrara. With exquisite prose, the author paints a vivid picture of a world on the brink of upheaval, as the family unwittingly edges towards its tragic fate.

McKendrick's masterful storytelling captures the essence of a bygone era, evoking a sense of melancholy and foreboding that lingers long after the final page. The Garden of the Finzi-Continis is a testament to the power of literature to illuminate the human experience in times of great historical significance.

This literary gem garnered further acclaim when the renowned Italian director Vittorio De Sica adapted it for the silver screen in 1970. The film's exceptional quality was recognised with the prestigious Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1974, cementing the story's place in both literary and cinematic history.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
