ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A journey of love and books that defies time
1912. Harry Widener, a passionate book collector, boards the Titanic carrying with him an invaluable volume he has just acquired in London. After the ship’s tragic catastrophe, neither the young man nor the book are ever seen again. In honor of her son’s memory, Harry’s mother builds a library at Harvard to house his extensive collection and secure his legacy.
Decades later, Violet Hutchins, a young student recovering from a great loss, works as an assistant at the Widener Library. When strange events begin to occur there, Violet gradually suspects it may be Harry’s ghost, trying to communicate with her to reveal the secret he took to the grave: the whereabouts of the coveted volume.
Alyson Richman returns with a story of love and ghosts that pays tribute to the healing power of literature. A rich and poetic novel that reminds us that books can be as eternal as love.
