And she is a writer living in New York who writes a bookstore owner living in London, England.
And she's writing to request one particular book that was a little hard to track down.
The two of them begin a correspondence and... Okay.
It sounds really cool.
Okay.
ensues, highly recommended.
But the one I want to recommend specifically to you is called Q's Legacy.
And this was sort of her follow-up to 84 Char and Crossroad, which you could read in one sitting, I have no doubt.
It's a really slim little book of letters that might be a good prequel here.
But Q's Legacy is essentially the backstory about why she wrote requesting that book to begin with.
Q is a humanities teacher, a British humanities teacher called Arthur Quiller Couch.
And he had sort of essentially, I think what it sounds like to me, Ted Joa's humanities course for her time.
You know, maybe when she was living, he would have been the Ted back then.
And so she sets out to take his course essentially and, you know, begins a correspondence with these friends.
They write back and forth about books.
And so Q's legacy is really fascinating.
kind of the literary memoir version of her syllabus.
And I find it delightful whenever someone says they've read 84 Trying Crossroads, the next sentence I ask is, but have you read Q's Legacy?
I love it even more.
I really do.
