520    "Cathy Bonidan's The Lost Manuscript is a charming 
       epistolary novel about the love of books and magical 
       ability they have to bring people together. Sometimes a 
       book has the power to change your life... When Anne-Lise 
       Briard books a room at the Beau Rivage Hotel for her 
       vacation on the Brittany coast, she has no idea this trip 
       will start her on the path to unearthing a mystery. In 
       search of something to read, she opens up her bedside 
       table drawer in her hotel room, and inside she finds an 
       abandoned manuscript. Halfway through the pages, an 
       address is written. She sends pages to the address, in 
       hopes of potentially hearing a response from the unknown 
       author. But not before she reads the story and falls in 
       love with it. The response, which she receives a few days 
       later, astonishes her... Not only does the author write 
       back, but he confesses that he lost the manuscript 30 
       years prior on a flight to Montreal. And then he reveals 
       something even more shocking-that he was not the author of
       the second half of the book. Anne-Lise can't rest until 
       she discovers who this second mystery author is, and in 
       doing so tracks down every person who has held this 
       manuscript in their hands. Through the letters exchanged 
       by the people whose lives the manuscript has touched, she 
       discovers long-lost love stories and intimate secrets. 
       Romances blossom and new friends are made. Everyone's 
       lives are made better by this book-and isn't that the 
       point of reading? And finally, with a plot twist you don't
       see coming, she uncovers the astonishing identity of the 
       author who finished the story."--Provided by publisher.
