Epistolary genre is absolutely interesting and recently I downloaded an ebook called The Dairyman's Daughter
This book is a vivid portrait of Elizabeth Wallbridge, thanks to a lot of letters sent by Elizabeth Wallbridge at the same author Reverend Legh Richmond at first for arranging thw funeral of her sister and then continuing to keeping alive the exchange of opinions regarding religion and other life's aspect of the existence.
Elizabeth lived in the stunning Isle of Wight and was the daughter of pretty elderly parents. She was a girl in love for religion; she constantly read the Bible and the rest of books she read were religious ones. The letters at the reverend are brilliant, written with the enthusiasm of youth. Unfortunately the existence of Elizabeth was absurptly interrupted because of consumption. What anyway she did in this existence is still remembered thanks to this book and the memory kept alive.
In this book you won't just find the letters exchanged with mr. Richmond, but many pictures and an extensive appendix with more informations about the various characters involved in the history.
The book is published by www.whitetreepublishing.com
