Skillfully written interconnected short stories that display the serendipitous impact of a single book on the lives of 10 people, beginning and ending in an unexpected way with the author. The mood is bittersweet, with loss threading throughout, but the melancholy is tempered by hope and connection. A quintessential book club book.
