84, Charing Cross Road is the letter correspondence between Helene, a bohemian freelance writer in New York City and (primarily) Frank, an antiquarian bookseller in England (but also other people affiliated with Frank and the bookshop get in on the chats.) Their relationship is entirely contained within letters sent over two decades time beginning in 1949. It’s a story of books and friendship and slow correspondence; an entirely charming read that can be enjoyed in a single sitting.
A book about books and the way they can connect us perfect for book lovers everywhere.
