The Echo of Old Books by Barbara Davis - #spotlight

 It has been a little while since I did a spotlight post for a book that has caught my eye.

I could not let this one pass me by. It has a beautiful cover that makes me want to dive straight into it. It was released just last week and is currently available on Kindle Unlimited, audio and in paperback.

So, here are some details of the book. I am hoping to read this as soon as my schedule permits.




The Blurb

Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners―an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.

With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story―and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.

It's a novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls.

Barbara Davis has an extensive back catalogue, all of which look like books that I would enjoy. 

Have you read any of her books? I would love to hear about your favourite.
