Letter to a Stranger Elswyth Thane 9780884119548 Books Reviews

Letter to a Stranger was published in 1954 and is completely contemporary to that time. To me, Elswyth Thane's non-Williamsburg books read like screenplays, and this one more than any other.
Story a young woman (the gentle, unfurled bud, Joanna) writes to a famous author, Eve Endicott (is that name 1950's or what?!), and bemoans the rigid, confined existence imposed upon her by her autocratic, irrational father. Eve Endicott writes back and is quickly drawn into Joanna's life.
There are three possible heroes to Eve's heroine (no spoilers here ) ). The story flits from mid-Manhattan to moneyed Connecticut neighborhoods, replete with cocktails, supernatural speculation, and smooth cars. There are a few comic, touching, and romantic moments laced through the plot. Picture Cary Grant, Ray Milland, Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, and any ingénue type. That's the time period. Tryst, this book is not. The profound commitment, the passion, the sustained devotion that are Thane trademarks are not here, but Letter to a Stranger is an interesting rounding out of the Thane collection.
