Letters of Note by Shaun Usher

dark reflective relaxing sad tense fast-paced

5.0

I love all letters collection books compiled by Shaun Usher so much. There is just something strangely intimate and wonderfully honest about letter writing. All these writers took their time to write down their most private thoughts all the while having the person they addressed to close in their minds. Minutes maybe, some probably hours. 

Once upon a time, the letters were delivered and read by that person and it's such a surreal feelings to think that now in 21st century, many many years later, most of the letters survived both the correspondents and receivers and now we are able to glimpse and share the emotions from both people from the future. 


It's surreal. With this book in participating, you can just feel the love in most of these letters especially from a mother to their daughter. I am especially in love with the letter by Karin Cook and Halliday. Growing up, I never had a chance to know my mother better as she passed away so early. Both of these letters speak to me on personal level because of that. 

Oh how I wished I could send a letter and receive one from my own mother too.
