Nearly fifty years later, Brisbane bookseller Caddie Walker is waiting in line to see a Karlson exhibition featuring the famous fragments when she meets a charismatic older woman.

Caddie is electrified. Jolted her from her sleepy, no-worries life in torpid 1980s Brisbane, she is driven to investigate: to find the clues that will unlock the greatest literary mystery of the twentieth century i

My Review: A little bit mystery and a little bit historical this book was an amazing journey. It's a slow burning story that I could not put down and I can't wait to see what else this author has out there. I loved how engaging this story was from the 1930s to the 1980s it was a great blend of storytelling. The twist at the end shocked me to no end and although I don't think everyone will be happy with it. I thought it made it very real.
