The Bookseller's Sonnets

Interesting story with enough twists to keep you interested on many levels. The best parts - St. Thomas More's daughter, Henry VIII, plenty of information on the restoration of books than I ever thought I would learn and a mysterious letter writer. Throw in the lead characters own life story and her work as a curator of a Holocaust museum, Oh and the Catholic church which desperately wants its hands on the diary and what any of that has to do with this secret diary and the mysterious letters and you'll be hooked.
The story when the museum starts to hear stories of what is happening overseas and the beginning of The Holocaust is hard to read but it ties into the story well.
I enjoyed reading this novel very much.
