Letters: a lost literary gender

It is an interesting book about the correspondence between two friends that meet in their country,Chile. But, life is very unjust, and for political reasons both have to leave their land.

Their experiences are not unknow or irreal, they are very realistics, a common ground for many women that are gone through the same or similar path. This book is a document: a good book for women and men who love literature, books, and academic work.
