Resumen del Editor

A librarian’s discovery of a mysterious book sparks the journey of a lifetime in the delightful new novel from the international bestselling author of The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper

Librarian Martha Storm has always found it easier to connect with books than people—though not for lack of trying. She keeps careful lists of how to help others in her superhero-themed notebook. And yet, sometimes it feels like she’s invisible.

All of that changes when a book of fairy tales arrives on her doorstep. Inside, Martha finds a dedication written to her by her best friend—her grandmother Zelda—who died under mysterious circumstances years earlier. When Martha discovers a clue within the book that her grandmother may still be alive, she becomes determined to discover the truth. As she delves deeper into Zelda’s past, she unwittingly reveals a family secret that will change her life forever.

Filled with Phaedra Patrick’s signature charm and vivid characters, The Library of Lost and Found is a heartwarming and poignant tale of how one woman must take control of her destiny to write her own happy ending.

Just eh? Boring and slow

I tried to like this one, as it seemed like it would be good "on paper" but it is so slow. I got so sleepy either listening to it or reading it.

the Audible narrator did a decent job, but like the Martha character, she came across soft-spoken, timid, shy. it made it hard to hear her at times. she has a lovely voice but it is just SO quiet.

the story may have eventually picked up but I just found it so slow and boring. I would not recommend this unless you're looking for something super chill. also, the supporting characters are all just truly awful people who you cannot like. it is depressing.

Totally captivating!

This is my new favorite author. I only wish she had more books in print and I can’t wait till she gets another one out on the market! I fell in love with the characters and the story totally gripped me and I laughed so much! She masterfully weaves everything together and is like an artist with words.

different

not what I was expecting. Quite differnr from what I normally read. sad but fullfilling story about lifes struggles and surprise your not prepared for.

Wonderful

I loved . What a great story. You can see this in real life. I personally related to the story.

Endearing

Twists and turns that were not predictable along with tears. I did not anticipate how this book would take me all over the place emotionally. Enjoyed it immensely!

Wonderful!

This is the best book I have read in a very long time. I loved the gentle unfolding of the story. The narrator was lovely!

GREAT narrator, enjoyable story

I truly enjoyed this book. I will look up both the author and the narrator for my next listen.

Good listen

once I was immersed it was very entertaining. rich characters and easy to listen to

How to tame your family of origin

This was a wonderful coming of age story about a very late bloomer who mistook her existence as a woman to me that of a doormat.

Great relationships with the characters who were quite well developed.

Highly recommended.

melancholy delight

I am torn. this is a really good story. but. way too realistic for me. it made me so sad. Martha is an adventurous, creative girl who becomes a mouse of an adult. everyone takes advantage of her. then she mysteriously receives a book from a dark stranger (well, it's dark outside sooo) and her life takes turns. excellent narrative, lovely story. I yelled at Martha several times while listening. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this author.
