Customer Review #1:
 A Sad and Passionate Story, and True
A love that was never to be, shared by two spirits who never had the chance to be together. No review will do it justice.

Customer Review #2:
 The Beauty of the "Unintended" Book
Like any collection of letters by an author, "Love Letters" offers the reader an insight into Kahlil Gibrans private life. As letters, these were obviously never meant for publication, though the quality and subtlety of the language is remarkable. As such, Gibrans voice is even more intimate than usual. Any fan of his work will revel in this feeling of a shared confidence.The letters range in scope from daily activities to artistic pursuits and interests, and have more of a feeling of intense partnership than romantic love. Arranged and titled simply by their date, one can watch, to some extent, the relationship between Gibran and Ziadah grow and deepen. This edition is beautifully presented, with appropriate biographical notes and a revealing introduction.
While I would not reccomend this as a persons first encounter with Gibran, it is certainly a worthwhile follow-up.

Customer Review #3:
An inspirational work
Gibrans poetic mind sways even the most jaded and lovelorn of us. His artistry shines through in his descriptions of setting, real and imagined. The absence of May Ziadahs letters, I think, adds a level of intricacy to the book, allowing the reader to hear, in the tactile absence of her words, her very thoughts and feelings in the echo of Gibrans responses.
