Over Bemertons is a charming and gentle literary chronicle that captures the essence of early 20th-century London through the eyes of Kent Falconer. After spending thirty years abroad, Falconer returns to his home city and settles into a set of rooms located directly above a second-hand bookshop named Bemerton's. This unique vantage point serves as the stage for a series of witty observations, eccentric encounters, and deep reflections on the world of literature and human nature.
The narrative is celebrated for its relaxed pace, focusing on the delightful flow of ideas and character sketches rather than a traditional plot. Through his interactions with the bookshop's proprietor and a colorful cast of relatives and friends, Falconer explores the timeless appeal of old books and the shifting social landscape of his time. E. V. Lucas brings his signature humor and light touch to this work, making it a beloved piece of fiction for those who cherish the intersection of urban life and the literary imagination. Over Bemertons remains a notable classic for its scholarly whimsy and its celebration of the quiet joys found within the pages of a book.
