Über diesen Titel
From the author of instant national bestseller Love & Saffron, this bright and comforting novel follows the surprising friendship between two young women in 1990s Seattle and Paris, illuminating the power of books to change our lives.
Sometimes a book can change your life...
Twentysomething Frida Rodriguez arrives in Paris in 1991, relishing the city’s butter-soaked cuisine and seeking her future as a war correspondent. But then she writes to a bookshop in Seattle, and receives more than just the book she requests. A friendship begins that will redefine the person she wants to become.
Seattle bookseller Kate Fair is transformed by Frida’s free spirit, spurred to believe in herself as a writer, to kiss her handsome coworker, and to find beauty even in loss. Through the most tumultuous years of their young lives—personally and globally—Kate and Frida sustain and nourish each other as they learn the necessity of embracing joy, especially through our darkest hours.
This mouthwatering oasis of a novel is a love letter to bookshops and booksellers, to the passion we bring to life in our twenties, and to the last precious years before the internet changed everything.

A Zibby Owens Most Anticipated Book of the Year
“A highly original, heart-warming story of an extraordinary friendship... Two bright, young women, living on different continents, share their experiences of transformative books, fabulous food, and interesting men–along with their regrets, fears, and hopes for the future–bridging the distance between them in their search for meaning and purpose. I loved this delightful and wise novel!”—Amy Poeppel, Award-Winning author of Musical Chairs and The Sweet Spot
“I loved this wonderfully thoughtful and thought-provoking tale of a friendship forged through letters. Confiding in each other about romance, family, work, and ambition, Kate and Frida move through the murkiness of youth and its inevitable mistakes, cheering each other on with friendship's greatest gift: a sense of being found. This is story deftly told, full of wisdom and heart, and a reading experience as memorable and satisfying as a great meal with good friends in a fascinating new place.”—Natalie Jenner, internationally bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society and Every Time We Say Goodbye
“In Kim Fay’s poignant and nostalgic novel, protagonists Kate and Frida form an epistolary friendship where they are safe to be vulnerable and authentic and, as a result, are each able to grow in unexpected ways. Written in the early 1990s, their letters take the reader to war-ravaged Sarajevo, idyllic Paris, and peaceful Seattle, and show what really matters in life: joy, love, and hope (and also, great books and delicious food). This delightful story made me hug my friends closer!”—Kelli Estes, USA Today bestselling author of The Girl Who Wrote in Silk and Today We Go Home
