These real-life letters make an amazing, page-turner of a real story!, August 30, 2006

Reviewer:  Mark E. Morelli (Cuyahoga Falls, OH USA)

This is an amazing book for three reasons. One: It is truly a page turner. The correspondence of these two young pen pals in the immediate aftermath of World War II turns out to be a real life drama with a plot that couldn't have been better masterminded by a great fiction writer. Second, it celebrates the art of correspondence that, while not dead, has certainly become a hobby for fewer people. Third, it reveals a time in the not so distant past when everyday people, a young blue collar worker and office clerk, enjoyed a deep immersion in the arts. It wasn't PBS. It wasn't elite. It was their everyday lives, and their mutual love of these arts brought them together for a lifetime.
