Parnassus on Wheels

Helen McGill, a no-nonsense woman of 39, finds herself utterly fed up with the drudgery of farm life and the ceaseless prattle of her brother, Andrew. Her unexpected escape arrives in the form of Roger Mifflin, a charmingly eccentric bookseller who travels the New England countryside in a horse-drawn van he calls 'Parnassus.' Mifflin, weary of his nomadic literary mission, is looking to sell his mobile bookshop, hoping to pass on the noble torch of spreading stories to the masses. Impulsively, Helen seizes the opportunity, trading her pitchfork for pages and embarking on an unforeseen adventure that promises both freedom and the delightful chaos of the open road.
