The Echo Of Old Books by Barbara Davis

A rare-book dealer with an uncanny ability to sense the emotional “echoes” left in old volumes becomes fixated on two unpublished novels that tell conflicting versions of a long-ago love affair and betrayal. Following traces in marginalia and letters, she unravels a decades-old mystery surrounding a vanished couple, confronting buried secrets and her own grief along the way. As the past and present converge, she discovers the slippery nature of truth, the redemptive power of stories, and the possibility of forgiveness and second chances.
