When the correspondence expands to include other employees of the shop and Frank’s family, you can feel the impact this relationship has had on their community. You can feel her implied tone in her letters and you get a great sense of her personality. I didn’t expect such a short book to have so much of an impact on me. Their relationship, captured so acutely in these letters, is one that will grab your heart and not let go. Through the years, though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally, they share a winsome, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books.
This charming classic, first published in 1970, brings together twenty years of correspondence between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York City, and a used-book dealer in London.
