I loved this author’s book The Memory Library, so I jumped at the chance to get this from NetGalley, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is a heartfelt story of grief and healing and what it means to be a community. The story will resonate with anyone who has found solace in a book and a group of friends, and it was very compelling.
The book is filled with emotional depth and delicately handles grief. I especially appreciated the way the character of Grace was written. It’s hard for me to read very emotional stories without feeling like the author is trying to manipulate me emotionally. Storey does it with sensitivity and authenticity.
The characters were very charming and diverse. Everyone had their own story to tell and struggles to deal with. The author developed them subtly, and they were very distinct. She made them feel like real people. The changes in Grace, as she deals with her grief and begins to connect with the other members of the club, are very well written.
This is a love letter to the written word, and the author captures the joy that books bring and their ability to bring people together beautifully. Even though many of the topics are sad, I found the book uplifting in many ways and felt hopeful after reading it. Kate Storey has created a beautiful story that is sure to touch the hearts of many readers.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
