"I read these out loud quite often. The letters are gathered from such a diverse range of people, from Steve Martin to Napoleon, and David Bowie to Mary, Queen of Scots—in this case on the night of her execution. There are love letters, letters of state, there’s a particularly funny one from a British ambassador to Moscow. They are tiny chinks of light into all these different lives, from Charlie Chaplin to Hitler. Each letter is reproduced as a facsimile of the original."

If I'd realised that letters were going to be a big part of this story back in 2013/14 or whenever I downloaded this, I really wouldn't have bothered. I struggle to get into stories like that, and have only managed to finish 1 or 2 stories that have featured letters. I just feel like we miss out on a lot of vital relationship growth, though this did have normal everyday bits between letters. I just felt that time went so quickly and we weren't really getting anywhere fast in their relationship.
