      Synopsis

      It all began with a letter inquiring about second-hand books, written by Helene Hanff in New York, and posted to a bookshop at 84, Charing Cross Road in London. As Helene's sarcastic and witty letters are responded to by the stodgy and proper Frank Doel of 84, Charing Cross Road, a relationship blossoms into a warm, charming, feisty love affair.

      Library Journal

      What started as a request for an out-of-print book evolved into a 20-year friendship. In her saucy letters, Hanff playfully harangues the staff : "SLOTH: I could ROT over here before you'd send me anything to read." Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

      January 13, 2010: When I have this feeling that life is just not worth working at any more, I think of 84 Charing Cross Road. It's charming, heart-warming, and I fell in love with Helene Hanff. She is witty and not afraid to express her thoughts, no matter how outrageous. I love the way she thinks and makes friends so easily, even though these people are on another continent. Helene's generosity and the complete gratitude from the people on 84 Charing Cross Road astounds me. If you need a book to make you feel good, read it, it will do the charm.
