A smart, literate, elegant reading experience

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 28, 2001

Schine's writing in 'The Love Letter' is deceptively simple but filled with subtle understanding of human nature and the sensual pleasures of the natural world. Consider the book's opening paragraph: "The honeysuckle was everywhere the day the letter arrived, like heat. Wild roses bloomed in hedges of tendrils and perfume. There were fat bees, dirigible bees, plump and miniature. It was a sweet, tangled morning..." Such...

Wonderful story with a great ending

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 22, 2000

This book was great. Once I started to read it, I could not put it down. I just had to find out who wrote the letter. The reason I am writing this review is that I was not disappointed at all by the ending. If I read a review of a book and see that someone was disappointed with an ending, I ususally do not buy the book. There were so many great things about this book - mentioned in the other reviews so I won't repeat. I'm...

<p>A subtle interesting book unlike anything else I've read

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 28, 1998

I loved this book. It's one of those where you could say that nothing much happens: the development is in understanding not in terms of action. It's modern in every way, but it also has a quality that seems somehow more attuned to 19th or 18th century fiction - perhaps because of the pace, which is relaxed and dreamy and takes its time. So it is a subtle novel; Schine creates a wonderful mysterious atmosphere that carried...
