Meet The Letters

Introducing the Hebrew alphabet through shapes and sounds

When Carys Cragg was eleven, her father was brutally murdered during a home invasion. Twenty years later, she decides to contact his murderer in prison, and by doing so comes across startling new information about the crime. In this powerful and emotional memoir, she learns of his horrific childhood, and the reasons he lied about the murder; in turn, he learns about the man he killed. She mines the letters they exchange for clues about the past, revealing her need for the truth and the murderer’s reluctance to tell.

May We Be Spared to Meet on Earth is a privileged glimpse into the private correspondence of the officers and sailors who set out in May 1845 on the Erebus and Terror for Sir John Franklin's fateful expedition to the Arctic.
