Ostensibly about books and healing. And while M. Perdue is the Literary Apothecary, the book loses the thread about the healing power of books. Which is fine, the story is more about love, loss, and the healing powers of friends and love.

This isn't a book I need today, but I can certainly see the value of it if I lose someone close to me in the future. At that point I'd probably feel more strongly for a "better" rating.

If you've lost someone you love, this book may be helpful.
