[Mareklamo · Rating 3 out of 5]

A love story told (mostly) in the form of e-mail messages between a man in the U.S.A. and a woman in Yugoslavia, set during the 1999 NATO campaign in Kosovo.

(This book was actually written by two people: Alma A. Hromic (now writing as Alma Alexander) and R.A. Deckert.)

[Davida Chazan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novel, told almost entirely through the fictionalized postings to an Internet newsgroup and email correspondence, is probably the first electronic epistolary novel ever written. You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/03/2...

LOVED this book...till the very end. I think I understand why they chose the ending they did but I don't like when purported memoir becomes not-so.
