It is an epistolary novel, letters exchanged between Helen and the staff of a certain bookstore. It is all about books and is very heart warming. Do check it out whenever possible.Priya Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579928775332067837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-85501301612101599132010-07-09T14:52:01.554+05:302010-07-09T14:52:01.554+05:30I read this book recently and I absolutely loved i...I read this book recently and I absolutely loved it...
