Prudencia Prim is a young woman of intelligence and achievement, with a deep knowledge of literature and several letters after her name. But when she accepts the post of private librarian in the village of San Ireneo de Arnois, she is unprepared for what she encounters there. Her employer, a book-loving intellectual, is dashing yet contrarian, always ready with a critique of her cherished Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. The neighbours, too, are capable of charm and eccentricity in equal measure, determined as they are to preserve their singular little community from the modern world outside. Prudencia hoped for friendship in San Ireneo but she didn't suspect that she might find love - nor that the course of her new life would run quite so rocky, would offer challenge and heartache as well as joy, discovery and fireside debate. The Awakening of Miss Prim is a distinctive and delightfully entertaining tale of literature, philosophy and the search for happiness.

Angelockt durch eine ungewohnliche Stellenanzeige kommt Prudencia Prim, eine unabhangige, gebildete, moderne und mit zahlreichen Titeln versehene junge Frau in San Ireneo de Arnois an, um dort "e;einem hoflichen Mann und seinen Buchern als Bibliothekarin zu Seite zu stehen"e;. Zwar hat Prudencia Prim, die Bucher liebt und selbst auf der Flucht ist vor dem Getose der Welt, das gute Gefuhl, dass dies der Tag ist, auf den sie ihr Leben lang gewartet hat. Doch wie nachhaltig sich ihr Leben verandern wird, wei sie nicht. Denn in San Ireneo ist nichts, wie es scheint ... Das Erwachen der Seorita Prim erzhlt die wundersame Geschichte eines kleinen Dorfes, das der modernen Welt den Rcken gekehrt hat und wieder zu den essentiellen Dingen zurckgekehrt ist. Ein auergewhnlicher Roman, eine ganz bezaubernde und kluge Geschichte ber Zeit und alte Werte, Literatur, Freundschaft und vor allem Liebe.
