Meet me at the museum

Meet me at the museum / Anne Youngson, read by Helen Lloyd and Lars Knudsen, 272 pgs.

I can certainly agree with what Linda says in her review...this is a lovely book.  Tina Hopgood's best friend has died and she is dealing with her grief.  She ends up in a pen pal situation with a museum curator who responds to a letter she writes to an author who wrote a book on the discovery of "Tollund Man," a body that was discovered very intact in a bog.  Tina and her friend had intended to visit.  The curator who responds to her letter tells her that the author died several years ago but attempts to answer her questions.  From there, letters go back and forth and they share information about their lives, their thoughts and their families.  The relationship is great in that it is two people who are getting to know each other.  They are not looking for a hook up, they are mature adults who find something in each other that had been missing.  Wonderfully narrated so if you enjoy audio, I would recommend highly giving it a listen.  If you don't listen to audio, don't miss the book.
