Review 32: The Library of Lost and Found

The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This started out very charming, I mean how could a book with a cover of a stack of books with a cup of tea with the word Library in the title not be charming? Plus it is set in England. Not that all books set in England are charming, no. Anyway, this book is about a middle-aged woman who helps out everyone but herself. She works in a library, of course!

One night a book is left at the library's door and it is for her, Martha Storm, and the inscription appears that it was from her grandmother Zelda who died years ago. This sets Martha on a quest to find out more about this book and her grandmother.

This book has many turns that I did not expect and I loved the character growth here. It did take me a while to realize how old Martha is in the story, as at first her actions seemed to be of someone at a younger age. But this book shows you are never too old to change, never to old to become a better version of yourself.


Thanks to Park Row Books and NetGalley for an uncorrected electronic advance review copy of this book.
