You are right, it's a haunting tale and difficult to forget. I was so affected by it I dedicated half my twitter handle to Vida Winter 😆

Another book about a book would be The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It may technically not be all about the book but the whole story arises from the discovery of an ancient book and its contents. That was a great read too, a bit far fetched maybe but engaging nevertheless.

Oooh really! I loved the whole set up of the novel, Vida Winter's story, the chilly feeling I got sometimes..actually I loved everything about it 😃

And yes! The Historian has been on my to-read list for a long long time😃

I wouldn't be surprised if it was in your TBR for a long time coz it is a pretty big book and a slightly heavy read 😛
