What is The Secret of Lost Things : a Novel about?
<p><P>Eighteen years old and completely alone, Rosemary arrives in New York from Tasmania with little other than her love of books and an eagerness to explore the city. Taking a job at a vast, chaotic emporium of used and rare books called the Arcade, she knows she has found a home. But when Rosemary reads a letter from someone seeking to “place” a lost manuscript by Herman Melville, the bookstore erupts with simmering ambitions and rivalries. Including actual correspondence by Melville, <i>The Secret of Lost Things </i>is at once a literary adventure and evocative portrait of a young woman making a life for herself in the city.</p><h3>The New York Times - Meg Wolitzer</h3><p>The discovery of a lost manuscript by a famous writer is a familiar yet still attractive conceit. Who doesn t want to learn that there s more to the story? But while the very idea of the existence of undiscovered manuscripts ( On Second Thought, Lower That Roof Beam, Carpenters ?) may quicken the pulse of book-besotted readers, the best way for a novelist to celebrate books is to write a good one. And <i>The Secret of Lost Things</i> is just that.</p>
