"For anyone who loves books and reading, An Imperfect Librarian is a perfect delight-a clever, entertaining and utterly splendid novel!" Alberto Manguel

This story is as wild, fierce and moving as the landscape that forms its backdrop, where a dry wit and wry temper are the best shields against a crazy winter and a crazier bureaucracy… a great book for people who love books, read books, collect books, catalogue books, treasure books, memorize books, covet books, crave books or ferret books away.” Joan Sullivan

Newfoundland and Labrador has produced yet another very fine writer. Elizabeth Murphy’s An Imperfect Librarian is clever and compassionate, witty and heartfelt. Laced with surprises and humour, it is a wonderfully entertaining read.Leo Furey

Witty and sharp, full of stinging one-liners, An Imperfect Librarian is a brisk and memorable journey through the workaday lives of some delightfully arresting characters.” Paul Butler

The audience groans. “…right after this song.” People applaud. “We had a request from…” He pauses while he talks to someone on the dance floor. “We’re gonna play a request from Norah. This is Atlantic Blue. If you can’t be with the one you love then you know what you gotta do."
