The Echo of Old Books by Barbara Davis
5.0
A book about a book is a first for me.
Ashlyn is easily relatable. She’s the main character who owns a rare book shop. She has a gift, psychometry which is an ability to touch and tangible, physical objects, which in her case just happens to be books. How amazing does that sound?
She quickly becomes obsessed with 2 books that have similar covers, and both of which have no author or publishing information. She meets Ethan Manning, the man who dropped them off at her friend's local thrift shop. The two of them get together to read and share what they think about these two books.
The story and the books are so captivating, beautiful, emotional as well as filled with mysteries of decades past. It’s a page turner that continues to keep you wanting & wondering. I savored every minute of all of it.
I love this book! I have to say the best book I’ve read in a very long time. I never wanted it to end. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher & to Barbara Davis this was beautiful.
