This was an unusual pick up for me! I found this signed copy at the NY public library and took a chance. So happy I did.
This book straddles genres- historical fiction, mystery, literary fiction and it’s blending of elements kept me engaged. I enjoyed the multiple perspectives from different generations tied together and the descriptions of living inside the library were magical. A great book for an nyc book lover.
My only complaint would be the pacing. I felt the beginning was slow and then things started to pick up a third of the way through. Other than that, am glad I picked this from the library’s shelf!
