Customer Reviews

Let's go write a letter!

May I reccommend this book to everyone who wants to re-capture friendship through the art of letter writing? When I was half-way through it I felt a quenching eagerness to write a letter right away... to anybody! It will definitely wheat your appetite to write (and read) great letters. It acomplishes this in a very practical way, through the words of great letter-writers such as Madame de Sévigné, Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson; so it's a wonderful gift for fans of these authors as well. "Victoria: the pleasures of staying in touch" is a book that invites re-reading until one can fully grasp the true jewels it presents, those jewels that have crossed oceans of time and are still here for us to enjoy: the great writers and their letters.

Wonderful reminder of the power of letters

What's so wonderful about this book is that the author gives examples of letters that have humor and modern day references. Very well-researched and written, a pleasant reminder of why writing a letter is a gift for yourself and the person who receives the letter. A joy to read!
