Between Friends: A Year in Letters
$17.95
Longtime friends Helen and Oonagh decided they missed the tradition of "real" letters. Their goal? To write each other a longhand letter every two weeks for a year. Week in and week out, Helen and Oonagh weave together tales of family, work, politics, motherhood, aging and creativity.
Praise & Recognition
Elegantly written…the intimacy leaps off the page. No hasty responses, but wise, thoughtful, letters.
Ottawa Citizen
You will agree, Helen Levine is undoubtedly a Jewish Canadian feminist hero.
Ottawa Jewish Bulletin
A wondrously frank, feminist manifesto.
The Globe and Mail
Via written word, these women come to the realization that they are soulmates, a connection most of us long for.
Herizons
…by the end of the volume the reader feels a real sense of intimacy with the world of the authors.
Monday Magazine
"Addicted to writing to one another, they've published their two-year letter exchanges on feminism, politics, family, friendships, joys and sorrows, and the laughable trivialities of daily life."
