Dos misteriosos libros y un amor infeliz. ¿Te atreverás a leer y reescribir tu propia historia? Cuando Ashlyn, una librera enamorada de los libros antiguos, descubre un par de hermosísimos volúmenes que parecen no haberse publicado nunca, su fabuloso hallazgo se convierte enseguida en una obsesión. Cada uno de ellos contiene una asombrosa acusación, y sus autores, Hemi y Belle, narran lados opuestos de un trágico romance. Decidida a descubrir la verdad tras esta historia de amor desdichado, Ashlyn se embarca en un misterio literario hecho de traiciones aparentemente imperdonables y que tiene sorprendentes ecos en su propia vida y en su propia historia de amor.
A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls. 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. 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.
