If you’re a book lover like me, then you’ve probably read your fair share of books about books or libraries or book clubs. It’s usually a sure hit for my bookish soul, so when I picked up The Reading List and didn’t love it (also a big believer in right book, wrong time), it got me thinking of other books about books that I do love. ( ) Delightful book for book lovers who truly understand the value and saving power books can have on one’s life. Many characters, many scenarios, many books to lift the spirit, create friendship, assuage loneliness and just be what each character needed at just the right time. Underlying issue of the devaluation of libraries in a community runs through the chapters, mental health, family makeups, grief and loss are all topics broached in this lovely story. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

An unforgettable and heartwarming debut about how a chance encounter with a list of library books helps forge an unlikely friendship between two very different people in a London suburb. Widower Mukesh lives a quiet life in Wembley, in West London after losing his beloved wife. He shops every Wednesday, goes to Temple, and worries about his granddaughter, Priya, who hides in her room reading while he spends his evenings watching nature documentaries. Aleisha is a bright but anxious teenager working at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's a list of novels that she's never heard of before. Intrigued, and a little bored with her slow job at the checkout desk, she impulsively decides to read every book on the list, one after the other. As each story gives up its magic, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she's facing at home. When Mukesh arrives at the library, desperate to forge a connection with his bookworm granddaughter, Aleisha passes along the reading list...hoping that it will be a lifeline for him too. Slowly, the shared books create a connection between two lonely souls, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
