Helen Fox lives a secluded life at the American Library of Geneva, passing her days cataloguing books left as bequests and combing through their pages to glean details about their deceased owners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s a quiet existence, but it’s work she loves. That is, until Helen receives a mysterious package containing the first chapter of a novel written by August Hegland – an ex-soldier turned writer and the man she once loved. Though he claims his new book is fiction, Helen immediately recognises herself in his story … along with the threat simmering in the ink: that August may expose the truth of her colourful wartime past.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut just how much does August intend to reveal? And what will happen to Helen if the answer is everything? The Library of Leaving is a gripping historical mystery, a sweeping story of love and betrayal, and a poignant meditation on how the stories we tell can reveal – or rewrite – the truth of a life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 14 Jan 2027, Harper Collins \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780008562076\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 384 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57759425069438,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9780008695644.jpg?v=1785240299","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/the-library-of-leaving-by-emily-dunlay","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
