The Echo of Old Books:

- book about books
- romance, mystery, family drama
- alternating points of view
- dual timeline (1940s and 1980s) set in New England
- used bookstore named An Unlikely Story
- bookseller who feels the emotions of previous readers when she touches books
- mysterious bound book with no author or copyright information

At first, I didn't enjoy the 1940s plot with its rich socialite heroine, but the more I got to know the characters, the more I became drawn into these very emotional stories. At 440+ pages, it would've benefitted from more editing, and it includes enough subjects for two novels.
