84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff

"Such a delightful reading experience . . . During Covid . . . everything was so chaotic and weird and depressing and lonely, and that book felt like the antidote to all of that." --Virginia Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Correspondent, on The New York Times Book Review podcast

A heartwarming love story about people who love books for readers who love books

This funny, poignant, classic love story unfolds through a series of letters between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York City, and a used-book dealer in London at 84, Charing Cross Road. Through the years, though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally, they share a charming, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books. Discover the relationship that has touched the hearts of thousands of readers around the world, and was the basis for a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft.

Helene Hanff, who was born in Philadelphia in 1916, spent much of her life in New York City as a struggling screenwriter. Yet it was her memoir 84, Charing Cross Road, published in 1970, that catapulted her to stardom and allowed her to visit London, which inspired The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. She never married and died in 1997 in New York.
