I FIND THIS WHOLE CONCEPT FASCINATING. I HAVE READ THE BOOK, PLUS SOME OTHERS BY MS. HANFF, HAVE THE ORIGINAL BBC AUDIO TAPE, AND A THEATRE PROGRAMME FROM A LONDON PRODUCTION. I AM CURRENTLY LISTENING TO THE TAPE AGAIN.
THIS IS FAR MORE INTERESTING THAN MANY MODERN STORIES AND I REGULARLY READ THE INTERNET ON THE SUJECT. I CANNOT PUT IT DOWN AS THEY SAY.

I stumbled across this movie just after it started, very late one night about 15 years ago. I didn't know what it was called, and I don't think I learned its title for another few years. I was captivated - by the particular setting in New York, by the story, by Anne Bancroft. I tend to prefer movies that focus on ideas rather than action, story and visual construction rather than excitement and excess. Watching this one was like walking with a new friend for a a while, able to be part of a lovely story for that time. I have not seen it since then, but for some reason have never been able to let go of it. Poignant and lovely, gently full of great, good truths.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful website! I agree with Mark Harwood. It would be such a good thing if the bookshop were opened again. I'd visit London for the event and no longer procrastinate about going.

Brilliant web site and such a wonderful book. It would be nice to know what happened to Nora and her family, especially as they feature even more in the Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. Would be great if they opened 84 as a book shop again.

One of my all time favourites. I have it on DVD,audio tape, books and I have the London theatre programme. Just a pity the shop is now a wine bar.
I have re-read, heard and seen these items quite a few times. Brilliant
My wife and I watched this marvelous movie at least a dozen times over the last 20 years.
My wife just passed away, after 58 years of marriage.
I watched it again last night and the tears and warmth returned as they always have. I am sure Livia also enjoyed it.
Share it with friends as we have.

I only just discovered this book in my library yesterday. Read it in one sitting and wondered why, as a booklover, I've never run across it before. After finishing it, I sat there wondering what happened to the characters. Hoping to find some tidbit on the internet, I ran across this wonderful site! Thank you so much for your research. This book should not be forgotten (and no, I haven't seen the movie yet, but hope to rent it soon).
