In 1919, Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris, creating a bookstore and lending library that becomes a sanctuary for the twentieth century's most iconic expatriate writers, including Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. When James Joyce’s controversial novel Ulysses is banned in the United States and Britain, Beach takes a massive risk to publish it under her own name. As the book's success brings both fame and financial strain, Sylvia must navigate the complex rivalries of the literary world and the personal costs of her dedication to the arts during a transformative era in history.
