Bookman's Tale: A Novel of Obsession
Bookman's Tale: A Novel of Obsession | Charlie Lovett
A mysterious portrait ignites an antiquarian bookseller s search through time and the works of Shakespeare for his lost love Guaranteed to capture the hearts of everyone who truly loves books, "The Bookman s Tale" is a former bookseller s sparkling novel and a delightful exploration of one of literature s most tantalizing mysteries with echoes of "Shadow of the Wind" and A.S. Byatt's "Possession." Nine months after the death of his beloved wife Amanda left him shattered, Peter Byerly, a young antiquarian bookseller, relocates from North Carolina to the English countryside, hoping to outrun his grief and rediscover the joy he once took in collecting and restoring rare books. But upon opening an eighteenth-century study of Shakespeare forgeries, he discovers a Victorian watercolor of a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Amanda. Peter becomes obsessed with learning the picture s origins and braves a host of dangers to follow a trail of clues back across the centuries all the way to Shakespeare s time and a priceless literary artifact that could prove, once and for all, the truth about the Bard s real identity. "The Further Adventures of Ebenezer Scrooge"by Charlie Lovett is coming from Viking Books onOctober 18, 2015"

My 2nd-to-last read of 2022. Finished this one a couple days ago. Heard it recommended on #WSIRN podcast, so I grabbed it at the library. I really enjoyed it and loved the dive into the world of antiquarian books!

I am leaning towards a so-so for this book. While I enjoyed all the parts involving the art of book binding, the work in a library‘s special collections, & the centuries long controversy regarding Shakespeare‘s authorship of his plays, the 2nd romance, mystery & conveniently wrapped up ending was just Ok. Don‘t think this is a book I would necessarily recommend. #litsylovereads

Audiobook. Good narration, fast paced, interesting. I love books about books so the mystery surrounding the “Pendosto“ was a fun one. The writing style was enjoyable and I'll read more by Lovett for sure.

Peter Byerly, an antique book dealer is devastated by his wife‘s death. As he‘s trying to heal, he discovers a water color of her from 100 years ago. As he looks for the story behind the painting he thinks he may have found an original script of Shakespeare. However, death & danger starts popping up.

I found the parts about book repair and info about how to spot a forgery absolutely fascinating. #booknerd The romance however was far too high on the cheesy scale for me. I did a lot of eye rolling. The mystery also felt very convenient-he talked to exactly the right people and pieced the clues together expertly. Overall I give it 3⭐️.

TerriGreen I felt somewhat the same about his other book, the Lost Book of the Grail. 4y

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫Told in 3 different time periods, you see the story of a particularly impressive bookish find unfolding throughout its history & the history of the main character. I liked the romance that was part of it, and enjoyed the mystery & plot twists, too. This was one of those books that I enjoyed reading while I was reading it, but was never that compelled to pick up to start again. Overall, though, I enjoyed the bookish fun!

Finished this book 11/19. So behind, but I loved this novel. It has so many things I love:antique books, Shakespeare, Victorian artists, and a small story about going to a Mozart opera that I totally related to. I felt like this book was written for me as it catered to all my loves. The romance was a bit twee, but not enough to spoil my opinion of this book. ♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Things I liked about this book: the three timelines and the information about old books & forgeries. The thing I didn‘t like about this book: the Peter/Amanda romance had too much of a “Nicholas Sparks vibe” for me. So,if you are a Shakespeare aficionado & you like Nicholas Sparks-style romance, this book might just be for you. It just wasn‘t to my taste.

Review: I am not even sure how I missed this book. I have read other books from Charlie Lovett and just loved them. This was no different. I love how Lovett writes a great bookish mystery. This has all the elements, love, mystery, murder and everything in between.

This is the story about a bookseller who collects and restores antique literature. During the course of his work he discovers some Shakespeare forgeries. Now the game is afoot and the book takes us through three periods of history to solve the mystery of what literature is real and what is fake. If you liked The Shadow of the Wind you will like this book too.

Delightful premise, but the way Peter just so happened to be able to find the right people to talk to, coincidentally at home at the right time, or coincidentally at a meeting that was coincidentally held the next day, was a bit too much. And I saw the answers coming from a mile away, but the main characters of course gasped in shock when they learned the truth at the very end. Should have been good, but too eye roll-inducing.

Bibliophilic problem number whatever (it‘s not dewey so I don‘t know):
Anyway, so I recently made an exciting find at the library. I had heard of it before and I‘ve been exited to begin reading it! Then, while rearranging my library yesterday (moving it to the master bedroom in my apartment and my room is now in the small bedroom) I was forced to exclaim (in my best terrible British accent), “Hang on a tick...” 🤷🏽‍♂️

It took me a long time to get into this book. I‘m not a fan of Shakespeare so I think that created a barrier for me. The love story portion was really good. As well as all the talk about books. By the end, I found myself enjoying the whole story. #LitsyAtoZ #MountTBR

Library #bookhaul from the other day.

On a literary girls‘ weekend trip to NYC, visiting the NYPL & some cool independent bookstores. My haul so far from the NYPL store and Book Culture. ❤️📚I purchased the first book in the Neapolitan Novels series, “My Brilliant Friend”, on our last NYC trip a year ago. Thought it was fitting to buy the second one from the “Our Favorite Fiction” table at Book Culture this time.

Had to run some errands in the vicinity of B&N, so I snuck in, knowing I had a 10% off coupon 🤷‍♀️. The tagged book (The Bookman‘s Tale) was in the 75% off bin, so its final cost was only $1.49! It should fit the #bookreading prompt for #150pnpcoverparty, as the MC was an antiquarian bookseller.

LeahBergen It was a fun read! I have Cold Comfort Farm waiting on my shelf and want to read The Relic Master. 👍🏻 6y

Really like the premise of his book but at the end I just wanted it to end. Find the truth about that one darn book and end it! Goes back and forth through time, usually like that but back in Shakespeare's time it took too much time. So now I do know that when I get a time machine, the Shakespeare era is not for me. Guess I did learn something!:)

Set in three timelines- this is historical fiction, romance, mystery, a meditation on loss, and a literary thriller all wrapped up in one.

It's like someone got the idea to mix dan brown with Nicholas sparks & see how it turned out. (Spoiler: not bad, I know- I'm shocked too)

It wrapped up a little *too* neatly for me & though the story was good it still felt like it was just this side of great but never quite made it.

Solid effort. 🌟🌟🌟⭐️

Does... does the protagonist of this book have anxiety? Or even panic disorder? I never find books where characters live with panic attacks. This must be (to a much lesser degree, I'm fully aware) what it feels like to someone who rarely sees themselves represented in what they read to finally find a character they can see themselves in. I tend to have a hard time relating to characters because my anxiety shapes how I interact with the world. 👇🏼

Laalaleighh So while someone may seem just like me, they react in ways I never could and breeze through things that would cause me to end up sitting on a grimy bathroom floor trying to calm myself down. This is a bit of a revelation for me. So indulge me if I sound ridiculous, please. I know it's not the same as being from a marginalized group that doesn't receive representation- but I feel like this helps me even better understand the importance of 👇🏼 7y
Laalaleighh #weneeddiversebooks (which I already fully supported) because if just seeing a glimpse of a character going through the same life struggle as me can be this meaningful to someone who sees people who (superficially) look like me represented everywhere, I can't even imagine what it does for someone who never sees themselves reflected back in any of the art or media they consume. I thought maybe it was just comforting to be represented but it's👇🏼 (edited) 7y
Laalaleighh more than that. It's soul-affirming. It seems that no matter how much I may think that I understand it- there's always more for me to learn. It's so hard for empirical knowledge to ever compete with lived experience. I'm now an even bigger believer in the importance of representation. All because I got a tiny, insignificant taste of what it must actually feel like. Ok sorry for rambling and writing y'all a novel. I just had relevatory moment👇🏼 7y

Laalaleighh that enlightened me while also revealing the depths of my ignorance and really needed to share. Now back to reading about the guy who possibly has panic disorder because it makes me feel less alone in the world. I would go to sleep but I'm so excited about this book now and the rain just started drizzling on my skylight so comfortingly I think I may have to pull an all nighter. Ok for sure done rambling now. Promise. 7y
ValerieAndBooks Thanks for your thought-provoking comments. I, too, feel a bit left out as not many books have Deaf characters and those that do are almost always by hearing authors. I suppose one solution might be to write these books ourselves but that's not easy. And, to talk about it, like you just did. Hugs! 7y
ValerieAndBooks BTW looks like a really good book! 7y
Dogearedcopy You are definitely not alone! I was in a very bad car accident almost 4 years ago; and since then I 'be had to deal with nightmares, panic attacks, and sleep-depriving and/or paralyzingly fears. I've passed out twice...
