Overview
A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls.
Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.
With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story—and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.
Review
Ashlyn is a rare-book dealer and she is one of a kind! She has a gift. A magical gift. She can actually feel the emotions of the previous owners when she touches the book. The emotional fingerprint that she likes to call the echo of a book. She runs across 2 books which lead her on a hunt about a decades old love story of betrayal.
I love Ashlyn. She is such a wonderful character. I love her quirkiness and her love of a quest. And this book has a fabulous quest. I also enjoyed the fluctuation in time periods. The way the author lays this out and portrays the characters really kept me enthralled in this adventure.
I have only read one other book by this author and I LOVED it. You can see the review if The Last of the Moon Girls here.
