What's this book is about?
- it's made up of letters written by Helene Hanff, an American writer, and Frank Doel, a British bookseller, and other employees at Marks & Co Bookshop in Charing Cross Road, London. Their correspondence spanned two decades, from 1949 to 1968. Frank passed away in 1968, never having had the chance to meet Helene in person. (It makes me so sad just thinking that they didn't had the chance to meet eo in real life)
- It's about forging a long-distance friendship and forming a beautiful bond between two people who share a passion for reading. It's a small gesture, but it's incredibly touching. The photos at the end brought an extra dash of delight.
A film adaptation is also made, with Anne Bancroft as Helene and Anthony Hopkins as Frank....more

But it took me two days since I didn't want the art to stop because I was enjoying it so much. I intended to snap a screenshot of each page and use it as my wallpaper. It was simply breathtaking. Manjit Thapp is a genius when it comes to colour schemes and expressing thoughts without using words.
I'd like for everyone to read it. It's truly magnificent.....more

To be honest, I didn't find it as inspiring as other reviews claim.
Maybe I'm just a heartless jerk, but I've never been moved by other people's struggles or life tales. I despise reading memoirs or autobiographies for the same reason: there is no value in them for me.
Nonetheless, I had a lot of fun looking at her doodling....more

I knew most of these tricks beforehand thanks to my mom, who never let me make the house untidy. But it was a super cute manga and I guess it's easier to read compared to the original book.
Imo it's more compelling than Netflix series I think....more
