84, Charing Cross Road by Helene HanffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This delightful non-fiction book is a collection of actual letters written in the 1940’sand beyond between Helen Hanff in New York City and a book seller in London. They are as opposite as two people can be, but they are brought together by a love of books. Helen is snarky and irreverent, but generous and caring. Frank is proper and efficient. He finds books that Helen wants and she sends care packages of food and supplies to her English friend during the rationing of WWII. The relationship lasts for years. I loved their interactions and relationship. It is extremely well-read on the audio version.
