Summary:

"Every year, over 6,000 letters addressed to Juliet arrive in Verona, Italy, the famous hometown of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. These letters are handwritten from people all over the world, seeking guidance and advice from Juliet herself. These heartfelt letters are gathered by the Juliet Club, an organization of women volunteers, dubbed 'Juliet's secretaries, ' who respond to each letter. DEAR JULIET will feature 75-100 of these handwritten letters that capture the pain, joy, and confusion of love. Enclosed in a delicate and beautiful package, these letters will provide encouragement, support, comfort, and delight to all readers. Each anonymous + And although love may be the universal language, any non-English letters will be translated and placed next to the original letter"-- Provided by publisher.
