Full of grace and humanity´ Sunday Times
________________________
When Tina Hopgood writes a letter of regret to a man she has never met, she doesn´t expect a reply.

When Anders Larsen, a lonely museum curator, answers it, neither does he.

They´re both searching for something - they just don´t know it yet.

Anders has lost his wife, along with his hopes and dreams for the future. Tina is trapped in a marriage she doesn´t remember choosing.

Slowly their correspondence blossoms as they bare their souls to each other with stories of joy, anguish and discovery. But then Tina´s letters suddenly cease, and Anders is thrown into despair.

Can their unexpected friendship survive?

A deep and luminous novel of self-discovery and second chances, MEET ME AT THE MUSEUM is a heartbreaking celebration of love, life and the surprises it throws at us. In a story that is at once urgent and tender, Anne Youngson polishes the everyday until it gleams.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

´I loved this book. It was so different from anything else I have read´

´I just loved this book and read it in one sitting. There were times when I felt like underlining the sentences that resonated with me´

´I read this book one letter at a time, just to let the contents sink in. Tears came to my eyes´
"Exquisite. Its characters somehow resist following their story and reverse themselves into a new one. A beautiful lasting read." JAMES HANNAH, author of THE A TO Z OF YOU AND ME
