The Bookseller by Cynthia Swanson

4.0

This is the second "The Bookseller" book I read this year (Yup! In 2016). I got a copy of "The Bookseller" by Mark Pryor by mistake and enjoyed the book. In fact, I wanted to read "The Bookseller" by Cynthia Swanson. Pretty silly!! So I got a copy of the book I wanted to read in the first place and enjoyed it too. This book is about a bookseller named Catherine (a.k.a Kitty). The book covers what happened in 1963 in two parallel realities. It is easy to follow and has surprises here and there. Cynthia Swanson deals with many issues common to the 60s, such as the Cuban Crisis, the difficulties for women to start a business on their own, the misconception of Autism and the fast rising of malls and chain stores. Great book! Loved it!
