It is a book lover’s dream experience. Josie’s residence in a gothic English manor and her deeply romantic connection to Elias, who lived years in the past, is as chillingly atmospheric as Rochester calling across the moors. This story is George’s treatise on the power of books and character to creep across centuries, to pull us close and invite us to live in a fantasy where we find love—literally—in the kinship of ink and binding. But it also acknowledges the dangers of letting ourselves fall too deeply when sometimes an equally powerful connection is waiting next door. This love letter to books, and the readers who exist in and for them, is a wondrously singular escape. —Rachel McMillan, author of \u003cem\u003eThe London Restoration\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Mozart Code\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRomantic and evocative read in both contemporary and historical time periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStand-alone novel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBook length: 86,000 words\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion questions for book clubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46530053374188,"sku":"9780785236184","price":29.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15517913482467.jpg?v=1749244988"},{"product_id":"dearest-josephine-by-caroline-george-9781400360895","title":"Dearest Josephine","description":"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLove arrives at the most unexpected time . . .\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1821: Elias Roch has ghastly luck with women.
