Letters to Ethel: Her Trove Preserved

The letters serve as testimony to a young woman’s journey from 1902 - 1919, they are a historical record of her life and struggles. The letters from 1909 to the end seem to play out a theatrical cat and mouse game between a young independent woman and an intrusive and controlling mother. You will need to decide if it is a mothers undying love or an act of selfish control. The letters walk the fine line between specific and vague, causing one to question is this the script of sinners or saints. Each letter paints the characters in your mind like life on a blank canvas. Things have surely changed and things are surely the same.
