In a forgotten nook of Cambridge, a little shop stands where thousands of sheets of beautiful paper and hundreds of exquisite pens wait for the next person who, with Clara Cohen's help, will express the love, despair, and desire they feel to correspondents alive, estranged, or dead.

Clara knows better than most the power a letter can have to turn a person's life around, so when she discovers a cache of wartime love letters, she follows them on the start of a profound journey of her own.

The Lost Art of Letter Writing by Menna van Praag explores the transformative power of words and the unexpected connections they can create.
