'A moving tribute to friendship and love, to the courage of the ordinary, and to starting again.' Rachel Joyce, author of The Homemade God

'Full of grace and humanity.' Sunday Times

This story begins with a letter
From a housewife
to the gentle curator
Of an extraordinary museum
Where lies peacefully
An ancient exhibit
That holds the key
To Everything
We are.

Meet Me at the Museum tells of a connection made across oceans and against all the odds. Through intimate stories of joy, despair, and discovery, two people are drawn inexorably towards each other, until a shattering revelation pushes their friendship to the very edge.

'Tender, wise and moving, Meet Me at the Museum is a novel to cherish.' John Boyne

'Insightful, emotionally acute and absorbing.' Daily Express

'Beautiful and affecting.' Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina

Exquisite. Its characters somehow resist following their story and reverse themselves into a new one. A beautiful lasting read.
JAMES HANNAH, author of THE A TO Z OF YOU AND ME
