Absolutely diabolical behavior from TJR. Carrie, after finding letters written by her husband's mistress, writes to the mistresses husband about the affair. David, the mistresses husband, writes back to Carrie and develops a friendship through letters. This is the story of two people grieving their marriages with the only other person who would understand. Spending months connecting via letters, phone calls, and hotel meetups, Carrie and David begin to realize things about their respective marriages and themselves. I adored this book. This may have been short but it was emotionally devastating. I wish it was a full length novel.

ES.

Me encanta como escribe esta mujer. Creo que es capaz de hacer historias de personajes y conseguir que les comprendas (incluyendo en ese proceso la parte buena y la parte mala, y me parece complejo hacer eso de forma realista). Ahora bien, aunque me ha gustado esta historia corta, creo que se hubiera beneficiado de más hojas para conseguir algo más de profundidad (aunque a través de las cartas y el paso del tiempo se observa parte de esa profundidad). A mí me hubiera gustado que fuera más larga.

I will read everything Taylor writes. Seriously.
I believe she is the best at creating character driven stories with complex characters and their own weird, complex moral complex without sounding preachy... and, at the same time make you feel for these characters, and understand them.
I do believe that she managed to acomplish this as well in this short story (the letters create a very nostalgic, very tied-to-its-time feeling that works very well with the narrative that is being told), and yet, although I like the story as it is very compelling, I wanted a longer version of it. I needed more
