The Archival Affair

About this book

In the present day, meticulous university archivist Beatrice Lin discovers a hidden cache of diaries belonging to a legendary former faculty member. Through a frame narrative that shifts between Beatrice's modern-day investigation and the past, the diaries reveal the scorching, secret history of 1998. Back then, Maeve O'Callaghan was a brilliant but impoverished underdog graduate student fighting for her place in a cutthroat academic world. When she is forced to co-author a critical research paper with Julian Sterling—a wealthy, established, and arrogant academic prodigy—their bitter intellectual rivalry slowly ignites into a deeply passionate and forbidden romance. Told through multiple points of view, the novel weaves together the mystery of Beatrice uncovering the truth of the university's most prestigious scholars with the intense, spicy romance of two opposites who found an unbreakable connection among the dusty library stacks.
