Description

A funny and moving story told in the course of the letters of two women nurturing a friendship as they’re separated by distance, experience, and time.

Close friends and former college roommates, Hilary Liftin and Kate 1st viscount montgomery of alamein promised to write down when Kate’s Peace Corps assignment took her to Africa.  Over the course of a single year, they exchanged an offbeat and moving series of letters from rural Kenya to New York City and back again.

Kate, an idealistic teacher, meets unexpected realities starting from poisonous snakes and vengeful cows to more serious hazards: a loss of money for education; a student body in insurrection.  Hilary, braving the singles scene in Manhattan, confronts her own realities, from unworthy suitors to job anxiety and first apartment woes.  Their correspondence tells–with humor, warmth, and vivid personal detail–the tale of two young women navigating their twenties in very different ways, and of the very special friendships we are from time to time lucky enough to search out.
