This is a beautiful book about books... how they can help enlighten, guide, heal, and become an escape. Where two unlikely troubled souls connect and become like family over a shared list of books that help them overcome the trouble in their lives. Where a small- town library brings people together into a community.
I loved this story. I love how books change Mukesh from a grieving old man, stuck in his routine, to a thriving confident man in his community. And how reading through the list brings Aleisha and her mother a connection that's been missing for years. I've read all but one of the books on their reading list (A Suitable Boy) and my experience with these books brought even more understanding and depth to the characters in this book.
I received an advance review copy of this book through NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishers.
