If You Liked "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer...
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer is charming and comprised of letters. Epistolary fiction is one of my favorite literary devices. If you liked this book, you may also like:
Which Brings Me to You by Steve Almond and Julianna Baggott
Two rambunctious, romantic flameouts. One boring wedding. One heated embrace in a quiet coatroom. This is not exactly the recipe for true love. When (John and Jane) manage to pull back, it occurs to them that they might start this whole thing over properly. They might try getting to know one another first, through letters.
Ready to Fall by Claire Cook
A witty tale of marriage and midlife longing, as a taken-for-granted wife pursues a fantasy love via e-mail.
84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
Not fiction, but a charming record of bibliophilia, cultural difference, and imaginative sympathy.
Life on the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers
Claire and her mother are running out of time, but they don't know it.
Not yet. They rarely find themselves in the same room at the same time, and it often seems that the only thing they can count on are notes to each other on the refrigerator door.
The Letters by Luanne Rice and Joseph Morninger
A powerfully moving novel of an estranged husband and wife through a series of searching, intimate letters.
I hope you like these titles. All of them are owned by the Central Rappahannock Regional Library. If you have a CRRL library card you may put any (or all!) of them on hold, either through the library catalog or by calling the branch library nearest you.
