3.5 stars. The middle dragged a bit, but the journey of the diaries and their author was captivating.

Loved this book! Tells how the author discovered he person behind the diaries and how he uses the diaries to find her - both literally and metaphorically. Read it!

Zipped through this story of personal diaries found in a skip and mostly enjoyed it. Felt the focus was on the biographer himself a little too much though.
