Publisher's Synopsis
My Dearest Alejandra is an unforgettable tale of passion, longing, and the complexities of love in the later years of life. When an accomplished writer and sailor accepts an invitation to stay in a friend's home in the Santa Monica mountains, he does not expect to cross paths with Alejandra, a law professor from Spain. Their connection is instant and all-consuming, igniting a torrid romance that unfolds in the final languid days of August.
Told predominantly through the writer's impassioned letters, this epistolary novel captures the essence of masculine love at its height-raw, unfiltered, and unrestrained. As Alejandra returns to her life in Sevilla, the writer's words become a lifeline, revealing his deepest desires, vulnerabilities, and the aching hope that their love can transcend distance and time. Alejandra, overwhelmed and conflicted by his formidable poetic attention, finds herself torn between reason and the relentless pull of his affection.
A tribute to the art of love letter writing, My Dearest Alejandra explores what it means to love recklessly, to risk everything for a chance at true connection-even when the odds seem insurmountable.
