I wasn’t ready for this book. “Letters to a Stranger” is one of those quiet titles that sneaks up on you, disguised as a love story but really a meditation on grief, memory, and timing. I finished it in one sitting, closed the last page, and sat still for a while.
The protagonist writes letters to someone she hasn’t met yet—and in between those lines, she finds pieces of herself she didn’t know were missing. I found myself thinking about all the people I’ve loved, could have loved, or never even got the chance to.
Some books entertain you. Others sit with you after. This one felt like a conversation I didn’t know I needed.
