Description

It begins as an assignment for English class: Write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. And he died young, identical to May did. Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to people like Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger, and more — though she never gives a single one among them to her teacher. She writes about starting high school, navigating new friendships, falling in love for the first time, learning to live with her splintering circle of relatives. And, in any case, about the abuse she suffered whilst May was once supposed to be taking a look out for her. Only then, once Laurel has written down the truth about what happened to herself, can she actually start to accept what happened to May. And only when Laurel has begun to see her sister as the person she was once — lovely and amazing and deeply fallacious — can she start to discover her own path in this stunning debut from Ava Dellaira, Love Letters to the Dead.
