People love lists. And books.
People love lists and books and the central character of this story... is a list of books.
Nearly seventeen hundred titles meticulously logged with a manual typewriter. A breadcrumb trail of interests spanning eighty years - a life shaped by reading. The list is an account of actively stretching the mind. A thirsty search for truth.....compiled by the reader.
Worried it would be discarded as garbage should she suddenly die, the list is now in the hands of her Grandson Ben Myers.... to whom she entrusted it just a couple of weeks ago. Ben is just beginning to piece together his 94 year old Grandmother Nada's back story - by the list of books she's read.
