Airmail by Naomi Bulger

Reclusive old Mr. G.L. Solomon's favorite things are single malt whiskey, Steve McQueen movies, and gingersnap cookies. He hates processed cheese, washing detergent commercials, and the way the teacup rattles in the saucer when he picks it up. Solomon has become accustomed to his lonely routine in Sydney, Australia-until the day he begins sporadically receiving letters in his mailbox from a complete stranger. On the other side of the world, Anouk is a mentally delicate young woman living in New York who insists she is being stalked by a fat woman in a pink tracksuit. When Anouk declares to Solomon that she is writing "from the Other Side," the old man breaks away from his daily grind of watching soap operas and reading Fishing World and travels to New York to find her. As he is drawn into Anouk's surreal world of stalkers and storytelling, marbles and cats, purgatory and Plato, Solomon has but one goal-to unravel the mystery before it is too late. (Description by Author on Amazon)

Lets Talk About It:

Airmail.. is a very different type of book. At first glance you believe you are going to be reading about penpals and a murder mystery. This book takes you much deeper than that
and through so many twists and turns you may not even fully understand what you've read until after you've completed. I'm still not sure I fully understand what I read though I think 
I have. 

It's a very short and quick read. The book is so interesting that you'll quickly be turning the pages to find out what is happening or to find a clue that will put everything together. 

It is a story about two penpals across the globe, one a young girl in New York City and the other a older man in Australia. The young girl, Anuck, is the only one to write. The older man, G.L., only reads he does not respond. That is until a letter from Anuck has him flying across the country to find her.
