I was touched by the relationship of the late parents; impressed by the husband's commitment to write his wife a letter every Wednesday of their marriage. When the couple die unexpectedly, romanticized by the fact that husband and wife pass away in eachother's arms, their children come together for the first time in years to see to the necessary final arrangements. Discovering their father's 'Wednesday letters' these adult children come to learn more about their parents....and themsleves.....than they ever bargained for. This book is a quick, easy read definitley worthy of your time. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This was a glorious used-bookstore-find, and a rare book that I will probably read multiple times. It gives me the warm fuzzies, but avoids the cliches and cringing that often also accompany the warm fuzzies.
The adult children of this family suddenly lose their parents and all come together in their hometown to handle it, when they find a basement full of THOUSANDS of letters that their father wrote to their mother, weekly, without fail, for their entire marriage. Including the last one, which he wrote immediately after his wife died in his arms and before he takes his own life / dies of heartbreak. Reading through the letters reveals some intensities of their parent's marriages they had never known, and deeply rattles all the kids as their images of their parents - and themselves - changes forever.
Also, the "Epilogue" and its presentation KILLS ME with how adorable it is!!!! All I'll say: read to THE VERY END OF THE BOOK. ( )
