I truly enjoy an epistolary novel, and when it is about a book it makes it even more interesting!
Set primarily in France, a woman finds a manuscript in a hotel nightstand. She returns it to its author, but is surprised when he advises her that he lost the manuscript years earlier, and only wrote to p.156, and the ending was not his. This causes the woman to find out where the manuscript had traveled, and why after all these years did it resurface.
This is a story of relationships, friends, lovers, secrets, and a mystery. I enjoyed the correspondence and the unraveling story of the manuscript and the lives it touched. I look forward to reading more by this author.
