![]() I enjoyed the banter between Helene and Frank. Oh, the power of books!Ĩ4, Charing Cross Road was a delightfully light collection of letters. I loved the book talk, and while neither of these books were favorites of mine, I did love learning about Helene’s reading and studying style. ![]() ![]() The second book is Helene’s journal when she finally makes it to London, a lifelong dream that comes true only after the first book was published. I hadn’t realized when I began reading that these books were true, but then I found them in the nonfiction section! The first is collection of letters between Helene Hanff and Frank Doel, the proprietor of a used book shop in London, during their 20-year correspondence (1949-1969). Between reading the two books, I also watched the movie, staring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins as part of Chance #10 (Book/Movie Comparison) for the Take a Chance Challenge. I love a book about books, so I thought I’d pick up the slim 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff, and the sequel, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. I may receive compensation for any purchased items. Posts written from review copies are labeled. Note: I occasionally accept review copies from the publisher. ![]()
