Recenzii
In a day of instant communication and surface relationships, it is refreshing to read of a deep connection that evolves through old-fashioned “snail mail.” Chris McClain Johnson weaves a gentle, slow-building ode to the transformative power of the written word in this lovely novella. She deftly draws readers into three distinct characters’ lives, and the result is a testament not only to the power of words, but also to the healing prospect of genuine, authentic friendship. I didn’t want it to end.
Chris Johnson’s Three Guesses is a gem. Allowing the reader into the lives of her characters through a series of letters, Johnson offers the reader a chance to participate in a communal sharing. Three lives celebrate, grieve, love and lose, vanish and reappear. They connect and open up to each other, and in the process share their lives with the lucky individual reading this literary treasure.
Chris Johnson’s epistolary novella, Three Guesses, begins with tentative communication among three strangers, centered on a work of art by one of the three. There is a testiness, and a desire for privacy, at the start. Soon the communicants form a bond, made of love, in the modern, virtual sense of the word. From its terse beginnings it becomes something else: a strange, moving, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes exuberant narrative. That Johnson can get so much story out of three voices is the book’s small literary miracle. The prose is sparkling and moves as fast as the sweet lines of a pop song. This is a sly and witty commentary on contemporary friendship. It’s also a confident, joy-filled, compelling work of bookish entertainment.
Chris Johnson brings back the art of letter writing in her novella Three Guesses. I found myself totally involved with the characters as she brought them to life in each letter. Through these correspondences the characters develop and intrigue us even more. Over the years you come to know each person and relate to their joys and pains. There is a feeling of realness and sincerity as you follow their lives in each letter. Three Guesses reminds us friendship, and family, can be found in the most unusual ways.
What a lovely story! I feel as though I know each of the participants. The premise was unique, the story unfolded in a believable and very human way, and the ending was perfect.
