Discover a tale of fate, resilience, and the profound connection forged through literature. This National Bestseller, from the acclaimed author of The Perfume Thief, explores the unexpected paths life can take and the solace found in shared stories.
Follow Yorick, an apprentice librarian who narrowly missed boarding the Titanic, only to find his life irrevocably altered by the disaster. Embracing a twist of fate, he pursues his dream of opening a Parisian bookshop. Here, he encounters a clandestine society of fellow survivors who, like him, were spared the tragedy. Bound by their shared experience and the anxieties of their survival, they form a book club, using classic literature to navigate their complex emotions.
Within this circle, a compelling dynamic emerges between Yorick, the captivating Zinnia, and the enigmatic Haze, weaving a narrative of love and friendship. As the world teeters on the brink of the Great War and unforeseen loss strikes the group, the enduring power of books to unite and heal is tested. This elegant and elegiac novel is a testament to love, chance, and the transformative magic of literature. A celebrated work of Historical Fiction and Literary Fiction, recognized as a Midwest Indie Bestsellers title.
