"The charmer of the summer."
??NPR

"Warm-hearted, clear-minded, and unexpectedly spellbinding, Meet Me at the Museum is a novel to savor."
??Annie Barrows, co-author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

In Denmark, Professor Anders Larsen, an urbane man of facts, has lost his wife and his hopes for the future. On an isolated English farm, Tina Hopgood is trapped in a life she doesn't remember choosing. Both believe their love stories are over.
Brought together by a shared fascination with the Tollund Man, subject of Seamus Heaney's famous poem, they begin writing letters to one another. And from their vastly different worlds, they find they have more in common than they could have imagined. As they open up to one another about their lives, an unexpected friendship blooms. But then Tina's letters stop coming, and Anders is thrown into despair. How far are they willing to go to write a new story for themselves

Epistolary tale about a Danish museum curator and a British farm wife. Good character development. Liked this one. ( )

Really 4.5... a lovely book. ( )

audio fiction, epistolary (2 narrators; 6 hrs 30 min)
November 2023 bingo challenge; food on cover.

letters exchanged between a farmer's wife in Bury St. Edmonds (Suffolk, UK) and a widower working at the Silkeborg Museum (Denmark) which houses the Iron Age human sacrifice Tollund Man that she takes an interest in--they form a close friendship while discussing various archaeology/anthropology topics as well as their recent grief/losses and other reflections on their life experiences.

lovely letter writing, with the touch of romance that goes hand in hand with the old-fashioned, handwritten correspondence. ( )

Listened to this on a road trip - it was totally engrossing! ( )

Another winner from LT! I loved this book and I’m going to buy a copy to have on my shelves.

I really enjoy epistolary novels, and this one tugged at me harder than most because one of my closest friends lives in Denmark and he and I have been corresponding for years, so the parallel pushed it up that extra half star.

If you don’t have a friend in Denmark you correspond with, it’s still a good book. I’m not sure how to describe it really, except to say it feels like a very realistic correspondence between two people who have never met, yet have become close. There’s a hesitation, a caution, in the sharing of opinions that rings true and the storylines that slowly and subtly unfold are the storylines that unfold everyday, everywhere.

There’s no happy ending, but there’s no unhappy ending either. It ends with hope. A genuinely lovely story. ( )

His pointed skin cap.

“I do not usually talk much. I find I do not often have anything to say that would interest other people to hear. Though other people talk about things I am inter interested in and I am happy to listen, so maybe it is not others' lack of the will to listen but my lack of interest in speaking that is at fault.” (Anders, p. 69-70)
This time - only two nights, one day - was like one long, thick, sweet, hot drink, comforting and satisfying. (p. 211)
