Ms. Hanff finally earns enough money to visit London. . .but not before her London bookseller friend, Frank Doel dies. Due to her celebrity status over the publication of 84 Charing Cross Road, many individuals in London treat her to dinners, tours and shows. Once again her tone and style are gregarious and humorous. Her delight in life is contagious. I had a difficult time keeping track of all of her aquaintances and friends (who was who and how they were connected to her)! Through various minor statements about socialism and Karl Marx, I know I do not agree with her politically. This difference did not interfere with my delight as I read her story.
A sequel to 84 Charing Cross Road.
Ms. Hanff shares her visit in London via journal writing.
