Helpful Score: 1

An amazing book of a young woman surrounded by old books in her father's bookstore, and the offer to help write the life story of a famous author. The main character moves to the house of the reclusive and mysterious woman, and begins a journey into the woman's life, while simultaneously moves towards her own understanding of her own mysteries and of her mother's life. A dark and interesting dramatic story that keeps you moving through to the very end!
