4.0 out of 5 stars
An intimate gem for teens or older women,
By A Customer
This review is from: Four Unposted Letters to Catherine (Hardcover)
Contrary to what the above publisher's comments suggest, that this small book is primarily "of interest to students of the period," this book is an easy to read, poetically stylized epistle of unique voice & spirit, that is at once illuminating, encouraging, and challenging to the established mind as it is edifying. It's quarky repetitive language reads like a poem or a speech, and it's straightforward advice is rebellious and intimate. Advice about knowing yourself and trusting yourself above all other voices and directions you will recieve throughout your life, including the voice speaking in the letter, is passionately refreshing, especially as written in its time. It's a little civil disobedience note...of a kind...and should not be buried in obscurities as a "period piece"...buy it for someone you love--yourself...and enjoy.
