Publisher's Synopsis
In our age of quick, impersonal email and text messaging, traditional letter writing is a rare and intimate act. The postal service is now called snail mail and kids no longer learn to spell because spell-check does the trick. It seems that handwriting is en route to becoming a lost art -- but "so what?" you ask. Computers have become indispensable labour and time saving devices to most people, and the Internet provides us with instant access to world-wide information -- it's called progress. Two highly accomplished women, Helen Levine and Oonagh Berry, have been involved in a correspondence project for the last few years. Every two weeks without fail, they take the time to compose long, hand-written letters to each other. They write about anything and everything -- feminism, politics, family, friendships, joys and sorrows -- while still being able to laugh at the trivialities of daily life.
