Letters for Emily

Title: Letters for Emily

Author: Camron Wright

Pages: 320

Genre: Fiction

Grade: B

Synopsis: Harry Whitney wasn't ever the best father, husband or even grandfather. He suffered from severe Alzheimer's but luckily had a few hours of sanity most days. During his lucid times, he composed a book of poems that he addressed to his granddaughter Emily. The poems each had hidden passwords in them that led the family to more of Harry's advice and brought them together.

My Review: I generally enjoyed this book. I liked the clues in the poems and the linguistic tricks that were often played. The love story underlying the story was a little hokey, but all-in-all not a terrible read.
