Synopsis

Bookish Samantha has always hidden behind the words of others--namely, her favorite characters in literature. Now, as she discovers love beyond the pages of her favorite novels, she will learn to write her own story. Sam is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is, both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore. But life for the twenty-three-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction. An anonymous, Dickensian benefactor (calling himself Mr. Knightley) offers to put Sam through Northwestern University's prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress. As Sam's memory mingles with that of eligible novelist Alex Powell, her letters to Mr. Knightley become increasingly confessional. While Alex draws Sam into a world of warmth and literature that feels like it's straight out of a book, old secrets are drawn to light. And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken. Reminding us all that our own true character is not meant to be hidden, Katherine Reay's debut novel follows one young woman's journey as she sheds her protective persona and embraces the person she was meant to become.

I was able to track it by tracking usps. Other than that small mixup everything was perfect. Will purchase from again, very happy with book

A Wonderful Read
I have hesitated to compose my review because there is no way I can do this book justice! As soon as I finished reading it, I realized I had to REread it immediately (to gain Mr. Knightley's perspective of Samantha's letters, rather than just her own). And I did...and was even more impressed with Sam's self-disclosure and honesty. Hard to believe that this was Katherine Reay's first published book - it's a jewel. This is a book that will make you ache for every kid shuttled through the foster care system. But what about those kids as they age out? Where do they go, and what scars do they carry into adulthood? Samantha Moore was first neglected, then abused by her parents. The only stability she knew came from a few compassionate foster parents and Father John, the director of Grace House ...

And I did...and was even more impressed with Sam's self-disclosure and honesty. Hard to believe that this was Katherine Reay's first published book - it's a jewel. This is a book that will make you ache for every kid shuttled through the foster care system. But what about those kids as they age out? Where do they go, and what scars do they carry into adulthood? Samantha Moore was first neglected, then abused by her parents. The only stability she knew came from a few compassionate foster parents and Father John, the director of Grace House in Chicago, where she has lived for eight years. After several disastrous attempts at living on her own, Sam returns to Grace House at age 23 to pursue graduate studies in journalism. Father John has been instrumental in helping her get a grant to cover her tuition, but it comes with strings - the head of the foundation providing this opportunity wants her to keep in touch and apprise them of her progress through regular journal-style letters. Knowing her affinity for fiction in general and Jane Austen in particular, he signs his request, "Mr. Knightley," and thus the title of this delicious book. Sam would rather study/write fiction than objective journalism, but at this point she doesn't have much control. Father John wisely knows that for far too long Sam has escaped into her books. He counsels her: "I want the best for you, and with every fiber of my being, I am convinced that 'the best' is not more fiction, but finding you way around in the real world and its people." This is the premise of the book - Sam learning about herself and other people, through her rocky semesters at grad school. I won't spoil this read for you by saying too much about Sam's friends, except that they are lively and each contributes to her eventual wholeness. Some parts of the book are gritty and will make you reach for the kleenex; others will have you smiling and whispering "YES!" But one friend deserves special mention because he, too, is looking for wholeness and happiness - Sam's favorite living author, Alex Powell. They bump into each other on campus (he is also a Northwestern graduate) while he is researching his next novel, and develop a friendship at first based on their common love of books. They struggle with how much to reveal of themselves to each other (her foster history, his broken heart from a failed engagement), as they move from acquaintances to friends to love. I was touched when Alex shares his loss of peripheral vision in one eye - a neat metaphor of the blindness old injuries inflict on our hearts, and Sam has plenty of those. At the same time the Sam is recognizing her feelings for Alex, she is becoming more and more open in her letters with the anonymous "Mr. Knightley" - her failing grades, her conflicts over how much of her real self she reveals to her friends, her fears of the future. And then suddenly, a burst appendix sends her back to Grace House to recover from surgery. There she finally faces her past and finds the voice her journalism mentor demands. She writes a paper describing her experiences in the foster care system with white-hot honesty and energy. Her professor thinks enough of it to encourage publication, and suddenly there is no hiding who Sam really is from her friends. But strangely, she doesn't want to share this article with the friend who matters most. She continues to hide this huge chunk of her life from Alex, and he in turn, hides by returning to New York and his writing. It looks like this is the end of a blossoming love story - even mutual friends cannot make them see the mistake they are making - until a car accident brings them together again. But this isn't the climax...you'll have to read it for yourself to find out what Paul Harvey used to call "the rest of the story!" I wish I could give this book more than five stars. It is one I heartily recommend, especially if you have an interest in good English literature. You'll love the quotes sprinkled throughout the book as you fall in love with Sam.
