Description
“Such a delightful reading experience . . . During Covid . . . everything was so chaotic and weird and depressing and lonely, and that book felt like the antidote to all of that.” —Virginia Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Correspondent, on The New York Times Book Review podcast
A heartwarming love story about people who love books for readers who love books
This funny, poignant, classic love story unfolds through a series of letters between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York City, and a used-book dealer in London at 84, Charing Cross Road. Through the years, though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally, they share a charming, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books. Discover the relationship that has touched the hearts of thousands of readers around the world, and was the basis for a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft.
