“Alyson Richman is a master storyteller at the top of her craft, and this is her best work yet. The Missing Pages is a celebration of the love of books and the enduring strength of the human heart. Lyrical, unexpected, and soul-stirring—I can't remember the last time I was so charmed by a novel.”
—Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Margaret Fuller
“The Missing Pages is, without question, Richman’s most innovative and compelling book yet… The Missing Pages weaves stunning historical details, supernatural suspense, and a thoughtful exploration of one mother’s grief and the memorial she creates to honor her son’s memory. The Missing Pages is a ghost story, a love story, and a library story that every bibliophile will cherish.”
—Lynda Loigman, Bestselling author of The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern
