The Echo of Old Books: A Novel

Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer possesses an unusual gift: she can sense the emotional imprints left by previous owners of books. When she discovers two beautifully bound volumes that appear never to have been published, each inscribed with a startling accusation, her gift becomes an obsession. The books are authored by Hemi and Belle, who tell conflicting accounts of a tragic romance. With no record of how these mysterious volumes entered the world, Ashlyn finds herself drawn into a decades-old literary mystery. She follows a trail of broken promises and betrayals, determined to uncover the truth behind the doomed lovers' story. As she learns more about Hemi and Belle, Ashlyn moves closer to resolving their unfinished love story—and the unfinished chapters of her own life.
