Book Review - Letters for Emily

Letters for Emily is the second novel written by Cameron Wright.  I love the way he writes, and he is a clean and thoughtful author.  I really enjoyed this novel.  Letters for Emily is fiction, but based upon a real person who wrote letters and poetry for his children and grandchildren.  It's about an old, grouchy man, diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, who writes letters for his granddaughter, Emily about life, finance, love, flossing, and everything in between.  The story addresses marriage, divorce, growing old, death, mental illness, respect, children, and honesty.  It's kind of a page turner, and keeps the reader guessing.  You'll find that in the end,  after all the puzzles are pieced together, you will want to read it again... now that you understand all the background and details.  Letter's to Emily is a good, fast, worthwhile read for young adults and adults.  I give it 4 stars.
