Helene’s time in London exceeds her wildest expectations. The trip will be bittersweet, because she can’t help wishing Frank was still alive, but she’s determined to capture every moment of the journey. When she’s invited to London for the English publication of her wildly successful book, 84 Charing Cross Road-in which she shares two decades of correspondence with Frank Doel, a British bookseller who became a dear friend-New York writer Helene Hanff is thrilled to realize a lifelong dream. This newly reissued cult favorite, which now includes an introduction by Plum Sykes, is a delightful diary-think Nancy Mitford-meets-Nora Ephron-chronicling author Helene Hanff’s “bucket list” trip to London (at the age of fifty-five!) after the unexpected success of her memoir 84 Charing Cross Road.
