Helen Hanff lives in New York, on 95th Street. In 1949, atwenty-three years, she began a correspondence with the Marks & Co. booksellers in London. This "reader/writer", original and penniless, found his happiness in the package of used books not found in New York, that received it the library of 84 Charing Cross Road.
