ateague73's review against another edition
4.0
I read this for book club, which generally means it's only okay, but I enjoyed this one much more than I expected. Glen (short for Glenys) decides to become a letter writer to prisoners in Flanders before she moves to Ceylon to find adventure. She accidentally gets the address wrong and the letter ends up in the hands of 12 year old Marten who is dealing with the accidental death of his older brother. He starts to write and tell her of her mistake, but then he decides to impersonate the older man.
They both get involved in questionable activities and their letters show the half-truths and outright lies they tell this person they've never met.
