The Carolyne Letters:
A story of birth, abortion, and adoption
by Abigail B. Calkin
Amelia, like so many literary women, has fallen in love with a complicated, unreliable, infuriatingly irresistible man. No matter how educated or progressive she is...she just can't stay away from Geoff. Set in various romantic, European locations during the 1960s, Calkin has constructed the very believable diary of a young women trying to overcome the pain of her past while making the most important decision of her future. Told in three parts, Calkin very creatively imagines Amelia's differing futures had she decided to keep her baby, abort her, or give her up for adoption.
As I said earlier, The Carolyne Letters is very believable as the diary of a struggling young woman. Understandably, it can drag at times, becoming repetitive and overly dramatic...but it realistically depicts the narrator's very personal, internal battle.
