Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week I’m featuring a loosely connected short story collection, No Two Persons by Erica Bauermeister.

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

My Summary:

One debut author. One book. Nine readers. No Two Persons is a beautifully written collection of short stories or vignettes of nine readers who all read the same book, and it means something different to each one. A celebration of fiction and our personal connection to books.

“I think each story has its own life. In the beginning, it lives in the writer’s mind, and it grows and changes while it’s there. Changes the writer, too I’d bet.” He smiled at her then continued. “At some point it’s written down, and that’s the book readers hold in their hands. But the story isn’t done because it goes on to live in the readers’ heads in a way that’s particular to each of them. We’re all caretakers of the stories… Writers are just the lucky ones that get to know them first.”
