Like what I have said, I would write a little review
about the novel in my previous post. It is called “The Wednesday Letters” by
Jason F. Wright. The main story of this novel is about the sweetness of an old
couple who has married for 39 years. This couple, Jack and Laurel Cooper have
unique habit during their marriage. Every Wednesday, Jack always writes a
letter for his wife. Not every letter is important, even a usual event in their
life, he wrote it to her. One Wednesday night, surprisingly Laurel got a heart
attack and died. Not long after that, Jack hugs his wife tightly and they both
closed their eyes together, forever. After they died, their three children,
Matthew, Samantha and Malcolm found a thousand letters that finally they know
that it is their father’s letters to their mom.
Many unexpected facts are opened when they read the
letter one by one. The shocked one when they know that Malcolm wasn’t Jack’s
son. Maybe their mom had cheated once and then born Malcolm. Many life values
we can get from this novel about family, relationship, friendship, forgiveness
and forget.
This novel is really suitable for those who want to cry
and feel the meaning of life. Me personally didn’t get that. No that this novel
is bad, but I think the situation is not right :D
This is a quite old novel though, published in 2008 but I
just bought it couple days ago and finished reading it.
Ps: For those who want to buy this novel, im not sure
whether this novel is still available on Gramedia because I bough it on Gunung
Agung bookstore.
