The New York Times-bestselling "tender love story" (Entertainment Weekly) from the Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy award winner.

One of the most acclaimed and beloved entertainers, Steve Martin is "a gorgeous writer capable of being at once melancholy and tart, achingly innocent and astonishingly ironic" (Elle). A frequent contributor to both The New Yorker and the New York Times as well as the author of the New York Times bestseller Pure Drivel, Martin's debut novella is a delightful depiction of life and love.

The shopgirl is Mirabelle, a beautiful aspiring artist who pays the rent by selling gloves at the Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus. She captures the attention of Ray Porter, a wealthy, lonely businessman. As Ray and Mirabelle tentatively embark on a relationship, they both struggle to decipher the language of love -- with consequences that are both comic and heartbreaking. Filled with the kind of witty, discerning observations that have brought Steve Martin incredible critical success, Shopgirl is a work of disarming tenderness.

"Shopgirl's pacing is gentle and accomplished, its tone tender-hearted." -- Washington Post

"A sweet, courageous exploration of a young woman's search for selfhood and love." -- Bookpage
