Welcome to Litsy!

This was a good epistolary set in the 1990‘s featuring a bookshop in Seattle. Oh if you are hungry don‘t read this. I listened to this as an audiobook and I loved it.

Kate and Frida become pen pals when Frida requests a book from the bookshop where Kate works. From Paris to Seattle, the letters allow each girl to move through their 20s. Set in the 90s so I loved all of the references. Good quick read.

This book is an epistolary novel,containing a letter exchange between young adults Kate from Seattle & Frida from CA,but living in Paris.The letters reveal their search for identity & purpose in life.They chronicle their growth & maturity,their loves & losses, & overtime,reveal their meaning to each other.Ultimately,despite life‘s darkness(Frida goes to Bosnia during its”hidden”war & genocide in the 1990s),they take actions out of love & hope.

This book is full of love & hope amidst heartbreak.

Just starting this epistolary novel this afternoon.

I love an epistolary novel - and this was a really lovely one about a friendship blossoming between two young women. I loved where each woman started and where they ended up. And the descriptions of food made me salivate.

This maybe didn't hit quite as hard as Love & Saffron - which I read in one delicious gulp - but it still gave me all the feels and I loved it.
