Sometimes a book can change your life...Twentysomething Frida Rodriguez arrives in Paris in 1991, relishing the citys butter-soaked cuisine and seeking her future as a war correspondent. But then she writes to a bookshop in Seattle, and receives more than just the book she requests. A friendship begins that will redefine the person she wants to become.Seattle bookseller Kate Fair is transformed by Fridas free spirit, spurred to believe in herself as a writer, to kiss her handsome coworker, and to find beauty even in loss. Through the most tumultuous years of their young lives-personally and globally-Kate and Frida sustain and nourish each other as they learn the necessity of embracing joy, especially through our darkest hours.This mouthwatering oasis of a novel is a love letter to bookshops and booksellers, to the passion we bring to life in our twenties, and to the last precious years before the internet changed everything.
