Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

just okay
The book is lacking in action, but has some insight into the human experience with death, adultry, and family. I found I was sometimes bored, but then surprised with some new way to express and explain our ties to one another. Loved the narrator

Very boring
I listened to a couple hours of this hoping it would get better. It is so boring and the narrator drones on. You don't care about any of the characters.

Yawn….
Had high hopes based on the predecessor, but this did not live up to them. I kept waiting for any light or funny moments or even some clenching mystery…but it was drawn out and frankly boring. Same storyline over and over..and no definitive ending. Felt like a waste of time but I was hoping it would get better! The narration was good and easy to listen to, just needed more content to make it worth the time.
