corriejn's review against another edition

4.5

Nothing revolutionary in how various topics are handled or how storylines play out, but a very enjoyable read. Many characters but for the most part they manage to feel reasonably well-developed.

This was a beautiful book full of fierce female friendships and the touch librarians have in our life. And it was sad and hopeful, historical and mysterious, all wrapped in

Moves along. Didn’t find a lot of things to ponder or that I wanted to write down. 

Didn’t seem consistent with Fred’s character or prior statements that he and Alice didn’t wait until they were married, especially considering the era. 

Parts were pretty predictable. Like the annulment.
