Books
A bookshop with stairs everywhere
Every room led to another room. I left two hours later with one book.
Ingrid Lund
In Porto I found a second-hand bookshop on a hill. Inside it went down and up and sideways, staircases between rooms, books in piles on the steps.
I lost my partner twice. I found an English novel about a family in Lisbon and a lamp shaped like an open book above the till.
The book
I read it on the plane home. It was not very good. I still think about the shop more than most places I have been on holiday.
