THE LETTER DIARIES
Based on a lifetime of real-life letters written by a daughter, a mother and a grandmother
Dear Reader,
If you enjoyed the obsessive journaling of Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones' Diary, the family travails of Reese Witherspoon in Wild: From Lost to Found, and the "what if" debacle posed by Gwyneth Paltrow in the British-American dramedy Sliding Doors, then you will enjoy our story of setbacks, shakeups and start-overs.
THE LETTER DIARIES invites you on a therapeutic journey in a refresh of your own life as the author restarts hers through the reopening of time-gone-by letters. When letters are reopened, a promise buried in one of the letters is unearthed, but only at death can the promise be fulfilled.
This new book offering returns readers to "The Golden Age of Letter Writing" made popular by the most widely read novelist in English literature, Jane Austen. In her most famous Pride & Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility, a new day was not complete without the arrival of a letter or the anticipation of a reply - or a Mr. Darcy to swoon over.
Letters are once again the glue that holds life together similarly bridging time, love and distance. But in THE LETTER DIARIES, through modern-day misfortune and a new generation of women in a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother, who live oceans apart so experience life together through written correspondence.
“Cracknell - a blend of Cheryl Strayed meets Helen Fielding in an Elizabeth teaching moment."
—Longtime OPRAH producer Shantel Klinger—
“There is something pleasantly, innocently voyeuristic about reading an epistolary novel," says Book Riot. Adding, "They give you the feeling of stumbling on a box of letters left in an attic, but there are no consequences or hurt feelings if you read them. Actually, the author prefers that you read them.”
EARLY REVIEWS
“Cracknell emerges as a resilient, sprightly, and engaging character ... a dream read!”
