LETTERS TO BE READ IN A HEAVILY BRITISH ACCENT edition by Joel Bresler Literature Fiction eBooks
Nothing shall hinder the romance of Penelope and Sherwood, not the horrors of war OR a leg-humping dog.This epistolary novella explores familiar territory - He marches off to war while She keeps the home fires burning, but you've never seen it explored quite this way before.
Poor Penelope's letters describe how she keeps her loneliness for Sherwood at bay by a series of distractions - parties, travel and extremely distracting boy-toys, many of them named Jean-Something. Sherwood, meanwhile, is busy marching. er, um, strolling around the countryside, looking for a war (any war will do) and avoiding colliding with trees. (It's much more difficult than it sounds.)
This is an immensely enjoyable, fast read with a surprise ending.

LETTERS TO BE READ IN A HEAVILY BRITISH ACCENT edition by Joel Bresler Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
good old British humor
Gave to a friend for her birthday. She loved it.
This book is a good attempt at this type of humor, but a bit overpriced for a slender 104 pages. I didn't find it more than mildly amusing. If you want to read laugh-out-loud masters of this genre, read Connie Willis "To Say Nothing of the Dog," or anything by Terry Pratchett or Jasper Fforde.
This hilarious romp is a must read for those who like comedies of manners of the Wodehousean type. Bresler got everything right, and his characters, Penelope and Sherwood, are delightful parodies of the brave warrior and his faithful love back home. The author's use of the epistolary style (letters back and forth) was a perfect choice to tell this very entertaining story.
The offspring of Sherwood & Penelope being unthinkable, the ending was quite right. 7 more words are required for this review, but I've already said what I intended.
Having heard many letters home (being retired Army myself) I found this book more or less a comedic replay of days past in combat when we called it "snail mail". Mis communication abounds and assumptions made . Just too funny, could not put it down. Fantastic fun short read.
I found this to be more "amusing" than "side-splitting" but I did manage a few genuine laughs among the smiles. Bresler has a real feel for language (I've read a couple of his works now so he has a convert). He's getting better as time goes by though and may yet make it into Dave Berry territory
