I wanted to like this book, I really did. It was rather sweet and charming, and who wouldn't want a) a friendship developed by letters on the subject of books, and b) a whole house full of books and no time to do anything but read? Sadly, this novel quickly revealed itself as predictable and formulaic, and although it promised escape from the current COVID-19 grind, I couldn't finish it but stopped about halfway through. I'm not a fan of books that hit the reader with foreshadowing in a great wallop, and this was like being in the ring with a prize fighter. Pass.
