A review by rtate29
Shakespeare and Company by Sylvia Beach, James Laughlin

3.0

I enjoyed reading this one over a long period of time, taking in bits slowly! Following 84, Charing Cross Road, this book is the travel journal of Helene Hanff, who finally gets the chance to travel to London and meet some of the people she has been corresponding with. It’s fun to follow her on her day to day journey. It’s a very unique travel experience compared to today’s experiences. The friendships she built during her trip were so random and yet so perfect. Helene is hilarious and makes so many references to literature (it was fun to find and connect them).

I adored 84, Charing Cross Road quite a bit more, but this one was a fun read!
