Review: Meet Me at the Museum

84 Charing Cross Road is one of my all-time favourite books. Meet Me at the Museum uses the same technique to relate the story of two strangers who form a bond via letter-writing.

Tina Hopgood and Anders Larsen are separated by an ocean, but soon discover they are kindred spirits. They are ‘of a certain age’, wondering if their lives have been worthy and questioning the choices they have made. For this reader, who is also ‘of a certain age’, much of this resonates.

This is a gentle and sweet exploration of growing older and wondering if there could still be more to life than the road so far taken.
