FLORENCE GREEN'S BOOKSTORE celebrates the love of literature: Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) lost her husband at an early age, but their shared love of books of all kinds will not let them go. She invests her fortune in realizing her dream of owning her own bookshop - in dreamy Hardborough, England, of all places, at the end of the 1950s, where the workers are sceptical about reading books and the aristocracy vigorously dictates what is high culture and what is not.

But despite the resistance, she is successful and progressive, polarizing works such as Nabokov's Lolita or Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 quickly find favour with the villagers. Above all, Mr. Brundish (Bill Nighy), who has lived in seclusion for a long time, takes a liking to the new bookshop and its owner. But Florence Green's gentle cultural revolution does not go unnoticed: the old-established gray eminence Violet Gamart (Patricia Clarkson) fears a loss of control in her home village and is suspicious of the radical changes. She tries with all her might to put obstacles in Florence's way and the two women begin a confrontation about modernity and convention.
