In *Words in Deep Blue*, every letter found in the books reflects a shared experience, a fragment of vulnerability, and a step towards healing. The novel is not just a story; it's a love letter to books and the ocean, inviting readers to discover the beauty of words and the connections they create. With its dual narrative and thought-provoking excerpts from letters, this is a must-read for anyone seeking a profound literary experience.
