This book
about books is also a romance, but not THAT kind of romance. A whole town
conspires and the result is delightful. Many twists and turns, surprises and
sorrows make this an entrancing read.
Well-developed
characters (one unfortunately dead), a plot that can carry the many characters,
a sense of place and time, a tempo just fast enough to keep the reader reading
and a clear author’s voice (surprisingly true for a first time author) all combine
for a pleasing book. Kudos also must be given to the translator.
Book groups
will love this book. Discussions can
concern books, personalities, laws on immigration, marriage, relationships
between friends, lovers and family members, translated books and many others.
5 of 5 stars
