The Secret of Lost Things ReviewI loved this novel about the goings-on inside what may sadly soon become an anachronism: a bookstore, populated by a fascinating cast of oddballs, in New York City. This old, vast, dimly lit bookstore is the sort that is a world unto itself, and the young Rosemary, freshly arrived from Tasmania, of all places, becomes absorbed in its doings when she signs on as an employee.
"The Secret of Lost Things" is the sort of book that a book-lover will cherish, full of literary references and quotes, atmospheric descriptions of the world of books, and of the eccentric types who populate that world. There is action and intrigue, too, around the finding of a lost manuscript of Herman Melville (one of my favorite writers), and the author has woven her plot using actual letters from Melville; these make the events of this novel more plausible and even riveting.
Reading this novel was espacially pleasurable becuse of the author's lovely way with the language; while still modern, she manages through her construction and vocabulary to capture the peculiar formailities of the classics of English literature. I look forward to her next book; the quest for another lost manuscript, perhaps? It could be an interesting motif for a series...The Secret of Lost Things Overview
