Mifflin is a book lover who believes that books have a life of their own and that they can change people's lives. The bookshop is not only a place where people come to buy books, but it's also a meeting place for intellectuals and book lovers. One day, a young advertising man named Aubrey Gilbert enters the bookshop and becomes fascinated by the books and the people he meets there.
