The Echo of Old Books: A Novel
£1.00
A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls.
Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.
With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story—and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.

I’m not usually keen on American fiction as dislike Americanisms also the characters & words can sound false but these were not evident in this book & I enjoyed the story

This book really pulled on the heart strings. I was as eager as Ashley to learn the story behind the 2 Books that found their way to her. I couldn’t stop reading.

Wasn’t sure what to make of this book when I started it and thought I had figured out the story which I thought was so mundane….but I was wrong and it was well worth reading right to the end. Must admit that I felt my eyes welling up on more than one occasion. Really was a lovely heartwarming read
