Description
From the critically-acclaimed author of the award-winning Of Dreams and Angels
“That’s when we discovered the letters.
Stacks of boxes tucked in the back of a closet. Pages yellowed by the passage of time. Some written only days and weeks before. One letter for every week, from the moment their love began.
It’s unlikely you knew him. He wasn’t looking to be memorialized. He didn’t ask for these to be published. He might even be shaking that head of wispy hair, wherever he is now, preferring that their discourse had remained private. But I’ll take my chances with their ghosts.
Why? Because the good ones are all around us. We fill our pages, real or digital, with the goings-on of the rich and famous. I’ve never understood that. I’ve never known if we’re meant to find meaning in all the partying, infidelity, and diva-like behaviour. There’s nothing particularly interesting to me in that, yet we’re drawn like moths to a flame. I’ll confess guilt for writing those kinds of stories myself, at my previous publication. Yet all the while, in our midst, are stories of wonder. Of kindness and courage. Vulnerability and hope.
True stories about true love.”
A World Beyond prequel, capturing a life and love in Eleven Letters.
