The Library of Unrequited Love
Author(s): Sophie Divry
One morning a librarian finds a reader who has been locked in overnight. She starts to talk to him, a one-way conversation that soon gathers pace as an outpouring of frustrations, observations and anguishes. Two things shine through: her shy, unrequited passion for a quiet researcher named Martin and an ardent and absolute love of books. A delightful flight of fancy for the lonely bookworm in all of us...
