At Ex Libris, we invite everyone to a cozy book club where we will discuss the book for the play "Love Letters" by A. R. Gurney. We will meet on Wednesday, November 5th, at 18:00 in the Kongsgård Lounge at the University Library.

The play can be found for free online, for example at the Internet Archive:

Here you can borrow the entire book by using a free account that you can create yourself. Alternatively, you can contact us on Facebook, Instagram (@exlibris_student) or email (exlibris.student@gmail.com), if you are interested in reading this and need help finding it :)

Everyone is welcome, even if you have read the whole book, just a part, or not at all! There will also be free coffee/tea and twist :D

The description of Love Letters is as follows:

"When Andrew Makepeace Ladd III accepts an invitation to Melissa Gardner’s birthday party, and Melissa writes a thank-you note to ask just why he got her “The Lost Princess of Oz” (answer: she looks like a lost princess), a romantic friendship and correspondence destined to last for almost half a century is born. Both from affluent, East Coast families — Melissa has more money, but Andy has better parents — the friends communicate with each other through angst-ridden boarding school experiences, European adventures, failed marriages, and the ups and downs of career. Over the course of their lives, Andy and Melissa’s relationship goes through many changes, as the sometimes-sweethearts/sometimes-friends go through periods of estrangement, and the intense, clandestine affair which will accelerate Melissa’s emotional breakdown. Despite the painful differences which will ultimately tear them apart, they remain each other’s most trusted confidante, and are “true lovers” on paper, if not on the earth."
