Stephen, that's a good start. Please add genre and more plot details to the topic header (title). We have thousands of books requests. We close threads with vague headers.

Click the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, there's a "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

- Around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine. This will help us narrow down the search.

Time period and location of story?

Genre or tone - fiction, satire, sad/somber, etc.?
