Reviews
"[The] dueling timelines, packed with twists and turns, should appeal to fans of Kate Atkinson's Life After Life and Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo." -Booklist "The author's ability to present two different, but related, heartbreaking stories inside her own novel and keep all the voices distinct is so impressive. The fascinating characters and the beauty of the writing pull the reader in...Highly recommended." -Historical Novels Review "Delightful! ...very satisfying. Barbara Davis endings usually are!" -Midwest Book Review "I've voraciously consumed all of Barbara Davis's books, but this gem of a dual timeline, which features a protagonist who owns an antique bookshop, has woven its way into my heart. The Echo of Old Books is a shining testament to the redemptive power of love. I took my time reading this story, savoring all the beautiful sentences, because I didn't want it to end. Highly recommend." -Terry Lynn Thomas, USA Today bestselling author of The Silent Woman "Woven with intriguing historical elements, The Echo of Old Books celebrates an enduring romance that overcomes all obstacles and the transformative power of love to heal the pain of past secrets. A big-hearted gem of a novel sure to delight true book lovers everywhere." -Christine Nolfi, bestselling author of A Brighter Flame "I knew from page one that I would fall in love with this ambitious jewel of a story. Two books within a book. Two love stories within a story. And a bit of the unbelievable as only Davis can weave. All of this done in a manner I've not seen before. This book has everything readers want: family drama, deceit, lies, and corruption set against one of the most horrifying periods in history. And love. Davis may have reached a new height in her career." -Barbara Conrey, bestselling author of My Secret To Keep "With her latest novel, Barbara Davis has delivered a beautiful gift to readers who enjoy a true passion for books. I was entranced by The Echo of Old Books from the very first page. A story within a story, it has all the elements I love-unforgettable characters, an old mystery begging to be solved, a well-researched historical backstory that is both romantic and tragic, and a touch of magical realism that swept me into the delightful world of my imagination. I couldn't have loved it more!" - Julianne MacLean, bestselling author of Beyond the Moonlit Sea
