The Lost Book Of The Grail - Charlie Lovett

Arthur is in his forties teaching English at Barchester University.   In his spare time he attends church even though he has lost his belief in God and searches through the libraries manuscripts to find clues about the Grail.

His life is changed when Bethany Davis arrives.  A young American, she has arrived with a mission to digitize the library manuscripts.  With a pent for computers and modernization will she be able to bring Arthur into the 21st century?

I really enjoyed this book, Charlie Lovett can tell a good story and the combination of history, antique books, Arthurian lore and Grail hunting is particularly compelling.   4/5

First Impressions - Charlie Lovett

Isn't it a joy when you enjoy a few books in a row?  Simple things make me happy.  I was glad to have picked this one up off the shelves.  We join into Jane Austens world as she makes a new unlikely friendship, and modern day Sophie who shares a love of reading with one of her uncles. Her family have a large country homes, but with constant costly repairs needed, there is a sell off of old books and Sophie is forced to go searching for several important volumes that may contain a secret relating to their family connections.

I did enjoy reading a book about book lovers written by a lover of books. 4/5
