A review by hardkaapi
84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff

funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

This is a collection of real letters exchanged between Helene Hanff of New York and Frank Doel, bookseller of Marks and Co. at 84 Charing Cross Road, London, published by Helene herself in 1971. Starting from 1949, this correspondence continues for 20 years and blossoms into a beautiful friendship. Knowing that these are real people makes the reading experience so meaningful, to the point where you might openly laugh at some jokes. An absolute treat to read, perfect for all booklovers!
