Why read it?
1 author picked Meet Me at the Museum as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the things I love most about this book is the fact that it’s the author’s debut novel—when she was in her 70s. The letters that form the story are engaging, witty, and sweet. All of them have a deep underlying awareness of the passing of time. (“It must have occurred to you that what you thought would happen when you were young never did.”)
The writing is beautifully poetic, with phrases that tickle the reader’s inner ear and remind me anew of why I love falling into a good book.
From Ami's list on featuring letters, notes, and journal entries.
