Review title: Good Premise, Poor Execution
Product review: The premise of this book was great; the execution of that premise was simply dreadful. I did manage to finish, but it was a real trial.I thought it very believable that someone deeply in love would write passionate letters and then never mail them, if not mailing them was for the best during politically turbulent times. What I didn't buy was the fact that had the letters been real, the writer of those letters was telling the recipient things both of them already knew, things that were for the reader's benefit only. Shame on the author for making this very basic literary mistake!I found the writing in the book to be over-the-top in a dreadful (there is no other word to use) sort of way. It turned what was supposed to be several tragedies, actually, into an almost-comedy. Only the dark subject matter kept me from laughing out loud.I could write more, but let's just say this is one of the worst books I have ever read and let it go at that.
