Description
*** DRAMATIZED ON BBC RADIO 4 WOMAN'S HOUR ***
A BEAUTIFUL NOVEL ABOUT LATE LOVE AND SECOND CHANCES
'A moving tribute to friendship and love, to the courage of the ordinary, and to starting again' -- RACHEL JOYCE
'Full of grace and humanity' -- Sunday Times
This story begins with a letter
From a housewife
to the gentle curator
Of an extraordinary museum
Where lies peacefully
An ancient exhibit
That holds the key
To Everything
We are.
MEET ME AT THE MUSEUM tells of a connection made across oceans and against all the odds. Through intimate stories of joy, despair, and discovery, two people are drawn inexorably towards the other, until a shattering revelation pushes their friendship to the very edge. This deeply affecting debut novel by seventy-three year-old Anne Youngson won the Paul Torday Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award.
'Insightful, emotionally acute and absorbing' -- DAILY EXPRESS
'Beautiful and affecting' -- NINA STIBBE
