Shimen“I don’t always like books of correspondence, but the relationship that blossoms in this one is so sweet. Two strangers become life-long friends because of an interest in rare books. The most suspenseful part — will they ever meet?”
Emily Padron“This is a real collection of letters between a book buyer in the US and a book seller in the UK. It’s one of those books that crawls into your heart and never leaves. I think about this book at least twice a week.”
Rachel“One of my all-time favorite books that made me fall in love with epistolary novels. Has anyone watched the movie adaptation with Anthony Hopkins? Would love to know your thoughts if so!”
