THE DUCHESS OF BLOOMSBURY STREET
By Helene Hanff
Avon Books, 1973
My dear friend Jane strikes again.
I told her I adored 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD and she handed me … the sequel! THE DUCHESS OF BLOOMSBURY STREET is the story of Helene’s long-awaited first visit to England. The opening pages gave me the willies (good ones) and it has taken all my strength to put the book aside so that I can pack it—unread—for my trip to England this summer.
Jane also shared the good news that 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD was made into a movie. Anne Bancroft plays Helene Hanff and Anthony Hopkins plays Frank Doel. It was available at the library on VHS. Lucky me … I still own a VCR!
Best,
Loree
