Comienza como una tarea para la clase de inglés: escribir una carta a una persona fallecida. Laurel elige a Kurt Cobain porque su hermana, May, lo amaba. Y murió joven, al igual que May.
Pronto, Laurel tiene un cuaderno lleno de cartas para personas como Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger y más, aunque nunca le da una sola a su maestra. Ella escribe sobre comenzar la escuela secundaria, entablar nuevas amistades, enamorarse por primera vez, aprender a vivir con su familia dividida. Y, finalmente, sobre el abuso que sufrió mientras se suponía que May la estaba cuidando.
Solo entonces, una vez que Laurel haya escrito la verdad sobre lo que le sucedió a ella, podrá realmente comenzar a aceptar lo que le sucedió a May. Y solo cuando Laurel haya comenzado a ver a su hermana como la persona que era, encantadora, asombrosa y profundamente imperfecta, podrá comenzar a descubrir su propio camino en este impresionante debut de Ava Dellaira, Love Letters to the Dead.
IDIOMA ORIGINAL
It begins as an assignment for English class: Write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. And he died young, just like May did.
Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to people like Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger, and more--though she never gives a single one of them to her teacher. She writes about starting high school, navigating new friendships, falling in love for the first time, learning to live with her splintering family. And, finally, about the abuse she suffered while May was supposed to be looking out for her.
Only then, once Laurel has written down the truth about what happened to herself, can she truly begin to accept what happened to May. And only when Laurel has begun to see her sister as the person she was--lovely and amazing and deeply flawed--can she begin to discover her own path in this stunning debut from Ava Dellaira, Love Letters to the Dead.
