The Lost Letter
By Jillian Cantor
A stamp collector's daughter finds a letter with an unusual stamp in her father's collection. The stamp takes her and a stamp dealer on a journey to the past and distant land, in search for the addressee on the envelope and the creator of the stamp.
I thought the book interesting story-wise, though somewhat expected. The writing might be a bit too explicit, but is not unpleasant. [322 pp.]

Answered Prayers
By Truman Capote
Not sure what to say about this book, other than I don't really get it. This style of writing is not something I can easily follow. [150 pp.]

The Song of the Lark
By Willa Cather
This is a Willa Cather book, through and through. I loved reading it, even if she found later on that there may have been too many details in parts of it. It tells the growing-up story of Thea Kronborg and all the people who helped her get to become a great and successful artist.
In the introduction to the second edition of the book, Willa Cather writes that she realized many people think the name of the novel refer to Thea, since she's a singer. However, she says it is named after a picture Thea admired, by the French painter Jules Adolph Breton. [434 pp.]
