Book Reviews of Q's Legacy
Book Review: Like a long walk with an old friend
Summary: 4 Stars
Reading Hanff's memoir/bio writings is like taking a long walk with an old friend. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes surprising, sometimes mundane, but always heartwarming. This feeling starts with the shared love of books and the whole world of books.
Having read and loved her "84 Charing Cross Road" and "The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street", peeking behind the scenes, so to speak, with Hanff as she deals with life before, during and after her literary successes is just too much fun. Hanff takes this opportunity to fill in the holes from her two previous memoirs; such as describing how reading and writing grabbed her when she was young and how she came to seek out books from a second-hand bookshop across the Atlantic. But most important to me is this is a real description from Hanff about what she did and how she felt, shared as if with a good friend sharing a pot of tea, and I thank her, posthumously, for her trust in the fans of her writing.
PS - first, read "84 Charing Cross Road" (at least)
