Love Letters

Tracing the lifelong correspondence of the staid, dutiful lawyer Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and the lively, unstable artist Melissa Gardner, the story of their bittersweet relationship gradually unfolds from what is written – and what is left unsaid – in their letters. In Love Letters, A.R. Gurney has wittily captured the manners of upper-middle class WASP America with grace and dazzling economy.
