Synopsis

A TRUE STORY THAT HAS TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF THOUSANDS

'Unmitigated delight from cover to cover' DAILY TELEGRAPH

'A real-life love story . . . A timeless period piece. Do read it' WALL STREET JOURNAL

'Beguile an hour of your time and put you in tune with mankind' NEW YORK TIMES

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. 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. Their relationship, captured so acutely in these letters, is one that will grab your heart and not let go.
