Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark DunnMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn is a delightful epistolary story with "a novel in letters" being a play on words of sorts. Yes, it is told through letters, but it is also about letters, alphabet letters. In an isolated island society, the local government decides to start banning the usage of letters of the alphabet based on a perceived divine intervention. As letters get banned, the letters are written without them. If you ever thought a letter was expendable, have a read! The book is very cleverly written and can appeal to a broad audience but especially language nerds.
