From internationally bestselling author Alyson Richman comes a love story, a ghost story, and an elegy to the healing power of books
Harry Widener boards the Titanic holding tight to a priceless book he just purchased in London. After mayhem strikes the ship, Harryâs last known words are that he must return to his cabin for his treasure. Neither the young man nor the book will ever be seen again. In his honour, his mother builds the Harry Widener Memorial Library at Harvard to memorialize her son and house his extensive book collection.
Decades later, Violet Hutchins, a Harvard sophomore recovering from her own great loss, is working as a page at the Widener Library. When strange things begin happening at the libraryâbooks falling off shelves or opening to random pagesâViolet wonders if Harry Widenerâs ghost is trying to communicate the missing pieces of his story from beyond the grave. Â
This powerful and haunting novel is perfect for readers of Marie Benedictâs The Personal Librarian and Sulari Gentillâs The Woman in the Library.
