anthology
I have to admit, this is a strange book to review. Letter to a Stranger is a really interesting idea- Colleen Kinder has gathered a collection of letters written to
strangers who had an impact on the writers' lives in some way. But, like any
collection of stories or essays, the results are mixed; some of the
letters are funny, some are profound, some are sad, but I found most to
be so vague that I read through them wondering what the writer's point
was in writing it at all. The 3 stars is for those letters that left me
wondering about the relationships or the moments in the letters that did
resonate. Sadly though, most of the letters didn't interest me or move
me in any way, but I hope the writers got something out of the exercise and perhaps some people reading these letters recognized something of themselves in the pages as well.
Sadly as a reader, I was underwhelmed.
