The friendship of Hilary Liftin and Kate Montgomery shines through in their letters exchanged over the course of a year. Though Liftin is working in Manhantan and Montgomery is serving in the Peace Corps in Africa, they maintain a regular correspondence through which they express joy and sadness, heartbreak and humor. I have always thought about joining the Peace Corps, but when I finished reading this book I wanted to even more. I have a best friend and I think our story is similar to the two in this story. I think the letters are heartfelt and touching. I wish the letters would have contained more substance, but I am sure when they were writing them they didn't plan on them being published. I was happy with the glimpse I did get. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A funny and moving story told through the letters of two women nurturing a friendship as they are separated by distance, experience, and time. Close friends and former college roommates, Hilary Liftin and Kate Montgomery promised to write when Kate's Peace Corps assignment took her to Africa.nbsp;nbsp;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 ranging from poisonous snakes and vengeful cows to more serious hazards: a lack of money for education; a student body in revolt.nbsp;nbsp;Hilary, braving the singles scene in Manhattan, confronts her own realities, from unworthy suitors to job anxiety and first apartment woes.nbsp;nbsp;Their correspondence tells--with humor, warmth, and vivid personal detail--the story of two young women navigating their twenties in very different ways, and of the very special friendships we are sometimes lucky enough to find.
