About the book

84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff is a collection of real letters exchanged between Hanff, an American writer living in New York, and the staff of Marks & Co., a secondhand bookshop in London. The correspondence begins in 1949 when Hanff writes to the shop looking for inexpensive and hard-to-find books. Over the years, Hanff develops a warm friendship with bookseller Frank Doel and other members of the shop. Their letters discuss books, everyday life, postwar England, and their growing affection for one another, despite never meeting in person. The book is a charming story about friendship, a shared love of literature, and the meaningful connections that can develop between people across great distances.
