The Echo of Old Books -- Barbara Davis

<p><b>A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of <i>The Keeper of Happy Endings</i> and <i>The Last of the Moon Girls</i>.</b></p><p>Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer's affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books' previous owners--an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.</p><p>With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers' tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story--and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Barbara Davis<br><b>Publisher:</b> Lake Union Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 03/28/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 443<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.27lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.59w x 1.57d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781662511608<br><br><b>Revie
