In October 1949, Helene Hanff, a young, unknown writer, sends a letter from New York to Marks & Co., the bookstore located at 84 Charing Cross Road in London. Passionate, manic, extravagant, and often broke, Miss Hanff asks the bookseller Frank Doel for volumes that are almost impossible to find. Twenty years later, they continue to write to each other, and familiarity has turned into an almost loving intimacy. This eccentric and charming correspondence is a small jewel that evokes, with infinite delicacy, the place that books and bookstores occupy in our lives. 84, Charing Cross Road went almost unnoticed at the time of its publication, but since the 1970s it has become a true cult book on both sides of the Atlantic.
Helene Hanff was an American writer born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is best known as the author of the book 84, Charing Cross Road, which became the basis for a stage play, television play, and film of the same name.
