The Wednesday Letters

Title      : The Wednesday Letters

Author  : Jason F. Wright

 

“The Wednesday Letters” is one of two my-last-week book. Yay! cheers for me, i’m back on track, reading two books in a week.

However, i must admit that i’m shallow by picking up this book from bookshelves in Gramedia Grand Indonesia, based on it’s oh-so-cute cover and a little noteable note that it was a New York Times Best Sellers. yea, i’m weak and easily believe New York Times picks.

The cover is very unique, shaped as an envelopes with replica of stamp on behind and on the last page there’s a white envelope contained pages of handwrited letters. I skipped reading it, saving the best for last.

“The Wednesday Letters” tells a story of three siblings, re-united on their parents funeral, trying to catch up and forgive each other. later they found thousands of Wednesday Letters their father wrote to their mom from their wedding day to the last day of their life. The letters reveal not only the warm and pure love but also a disastrous secret that may destroy the family bond. It’s a story about family value, love, forgiveness and honor. Jason F. Wright wanted to convince us that love and magic does exist.

As for me, the story is beautiful and entertaining but just not “wow” that i would include it to my very own “Unforgetable books” list. But definitely, it’s a must read book.
