Dear Exile: The Story of a Friendship Separated (for a Year) by an Ocean by Kate Montgomery, Hilary Liftin

4.0

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I didn't think real letters could have such entertaining, even poetic language. The letters were easy to read, but not superficial or frivolous. My heart broke with Kate as she struggled with her students in Kenya. Hilary's descriptions of her dates and other escapades made me feel like I was there with her. These women are very clever and witty writers. I'm envious of the treasure they possess in these letters to each other. Their terms of endearment and other colloquialisms were such fun to read. Who writes letters like these anymore? I want to.
