About this deal
The entire story is told through letters between Carrie and David as well as the letters they found from their spouses. It was done so well in both the audiobook and the book. In the audiobook, we had a different voice for each person’s letter, and in the book she used different fonts. It was so creative!
What would you do if you found a letter from your husband’s mistress? Set in the 1970s, this entire short story is made up of letters, mostly between Carrie and David whose spouses are having an affair. The book is amazing. Ending is perfect. I sincerely hope that this would be transformed into a movie as it would be the first of its kind. 10/10It's juicy and fun with big twists. But it's also the most personal and political thing I've ever written. This was a very frank and understanding look at human failings, served up to the reader in a very digestible and relatable format.
Carrie and David have never met, they live hundreds of miles away from each other, but Carrie feels that it is her duty to make David aware of the situation. The epistolary story evolves from here to also include the letters exchanged by their spouses, revealing their thoughts and feelings as they continue with their marriages as though nothing was going on.I have not included your wife’s letters here as that seems callous. But if you do wish to see them, I will, of course, do you the same favor I am requesting of you.” Taylor Jenkins Reid
