Suzanne Vega recommended Letters to Olga in Books (curated)

Book Favorite

"A extraordinary document of letters, written by a man in jail under extreme duress, as he resists the Communist regime, trying not to crumble, struggling to maintain his integrity in the face of the physical and mental punishments set upon him. These letters are not particularly romantic in spite of being addressed to his wife Olga, and in many places not even personal, but they clearly show his wit and will to survive, and in the end, they outline the tenets of his philosophy. The fact that we know he ends up as the President of Czechoslovakia and then the Czech Republic, adds to the pleasure of the reading. The many requests for tea and chocolate strike me as particularly poignant."

It took me a while to get in to this book. I'm not sure why. It is well written and the characters have dimension. The idea of a story written entirely as a series of letters to Richard Gere was intriguing but in the end I think that's why I had a tough time getting in to the story.

Long winded
Just a book about philosophy
Perhaps not my kind of book, I didnt really enjoy the concept and found the philosophy lessons quite long and boring. The plot was interesting but I didnt finish the book. Found it a but strange that a young girl just trusts an old man who sends her letters.
