A story of letters. Finding a manuscript in a hotel, Anne finds the address to send it. When she gets a response she finds the author only did half the book. A good story overall, but got a little tiresome after awhile. Still though, if you like letter stories this one is a good pick. Would recommend.

I was so excited to get a copy of this. As soon as I read the synopsis, I knew I would love it. I was right.

The Lost Manuscript, what a surprising wonderful book. I had no expectations when I got this Advance copy of this book.. I was quickly drawn in to the characters in this novel. When Lisa Marie Briard finds a manuscript in a drawer at her hotel, not on does she read it but decides she must return it to its author. And there the tale begins. Through letters with the author, she discovers that the Manuscript has been lost for 30 years. It becomes an obsession to trace the manuscript’s journey. All the lives this beautiful story that the Manuscript touches, impacts all its readers. Almost all the characters in this novel are damaged in some way, but by the end of this journey they start to heal. This story is told through letters with the author and then with the people who found the Manuscript. What a journey for this book and its readers.

I truly loved this book

"Cathy Bonidan's The Lost Manuscript is a charming epistolary novel about the love of books and magical ability they have to bring people together.." It's also one of the best books I've read this year. And, I think that from now and forever when people ask me to name some of my favorite books, this will be one of them along with The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
