This was a delightful book. It is a cute epistolary about a manuscript that was lost for over 30 years, and upon its rediscovery, the journey it has been on is revealed. A group of book lovers are united in a most unique way. The story flowed and didn’t try too hard to be something it wasn’t. It was simply charming.

I love epistolary reads and this was especially interesting as it was translated and also was based primarily in France. The story had interesting twists and turns but wrapped up almost too perfectly .
