Clara has built a quiet life among the books of her Chamberí library ? until handwritten notes begin appearing between the pages, signed only with the letter D. Tender, precise, unsettlingly familiar. Someone sees her. The question is whether she's ready to be found.
Set against the golden melancholy of autumnal Madrid, Autumn in the Literary Refuge follows Clara, a young librarian still healing from a broken past, as anonymous letters draw her into an unexpected journey of self-discovery. Between a charming architect who offers her stability, a childhood friend who has always known her best, and the intoxicating mystery of an unknown admirer, Clara must learn to distinguish the place where she rests from the place where she truly belongs.
Warm, witty and emotionally honest, this is a novel about the courage it takes to be truly known ? and the stories we hide even from ourselves.
Book 1 of The Chamberí Library Series.
