Book Review of The Words Between Us

The Words Between Us
eadieburke avatar reviewed on + 1623 more book reviews


Robin is sent to live with her grandmother since her parents' scandal and imprisonment. She meets Peter in the cemetery nearby. Peter's mother, an English teacher at the high school, recently died. Peter begins to read his mother's books and then shares them with Robin who in turn writes him poetry as a payment. I love reading books about books so this immediately drew me in. Robin eventually opens a book store as her love of books is quite evident. Robin's relationship with Peter is told in two different timelines entitled Then and Now and allows us to see how this relationship fell apart and how they go back together. Erin Bartels' writing is very beautiful and flows easily making this an enjoyable read. Her characters are believable and the plot engrossing. I would like to thank LibraryThing Early Reviewers and The Baker Publishing Group for allowing me to read this book for an honest review. I would highly recommend to those who love books about books with a touch of romance.
