The
Bookman's
Tale
by Charlie Lovett
Having recently read The Lost
Book of the Grail by the same author;
I anticipated reading, this, his debut and famous novel more than I
did. It weaves the tale of our protagonist's two passions 1)
collecting and restoring rare books 2) his wife.
The former tells the story of Shakespearean
manuscripts and forgeries with a few too many leaps of imagination.
It moves along with connections and circumstances that don't always
feel plausible. As to the latter, a little too much is not
left to the imagination as to the passion he and his wife share.
An ok read, not a great read. If I were to chose
one of his books to read it would be The Lost Book
of the Grail and skip this one.
