I wanted to love it, I really did, but the ending left me disappointed and empty. I could have given it three stars, except the rest of the story was moving and gripping. But...so much was left unsaid. The ghosts in the house? Who & why? Family? It was a wonderful story, and it had so much more to give, but it glossed over a lot. 
 I read it because it fits into my reading goal of reading all books about bookstores & booksellers. But although I gave it 4 stars, I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Sorry. I loved it but wanted more.
