A very interesting book with letters and postcards to read. Surprise ending!
Lisa P. (FamFatale) -
One of the most intriguing, colorful, and imaginative books I've seen this year.
This singular, magical volume invites readers to examine handmade postcards and open colorful envelopes as they eavesdrop on lonely London card-designer Griffin Moss and mysterious South Pacific islander Sabine Strohem. Sabine introduces herself to Griffin with a note congratulating him on a design on one of the postcards he illustrates--and alluding to an alteration he made during the creative process. Perplexed because he works alone and discusses his creative dilemmas with no one, he responds, begging her to enlighten him as to how she knew about the original design. In her next missive, she admits, "I share your sight," and their correspondence grows increasingly intimate. Sabine continues to make psychic observations and beckons to Griffin from her atoll; Griffin fantasizes about her to escape his drab existence, his interest turning to obsession. Their personalities shine through both their art and penmanship: Griffin's faintly disturbing, often subliminally violent collages, blocky printed words and imperfectly typewritten pages contrast with Sabine's whimsical doodles, fanciful postage stamps and flowing, calligraphic script.

This is the beginning book of the series. It started a great fad of collage-type art books.

Wow! Really unusual. Not my usual genre but a friend told me I must read the series and I am hooked by the first book. I have to find out what happens next. A quick read, but totally enjoyable.
