“This is the story of Kay Bartholdi. One day, Kay came into my restaurant. She placed a large bundle of letters on the table. She told me: You do what you want with them, I don't want to keep them anymore. » Thus begins this novel in letters as they were written in the 18th century. It recounts the epistolary affair between Kay Bartholdi, a bookseller in Fécamp, and a stranger who wrote to him to order books. As the letters progress, the tone becomes less official, more inquisitive, and more tender too. Kay and Jonathan talk about their readings, of course, but begin a real loving dialogue. They make scenes, they confide in each other, they set traps, they engage in a relationship that Kay, haunted by the memory of an old tear, strives to push away.
But who could predict what revelation this new bond forged through books which each of the correspondents uses as masks to hide their true feelings will take him to? Tell me what you read, I will tell you who you are and how you love... seems to say this new novel by Katherine Pancol, author, among others, of Kiss Me, I Was There Before or Cruel Men don't run the streets.
