A retired secondary school teacher in Lyon now pursuing a PhD in Epistolary Literature. I am fascinated by the lost art of letter writing and spend my days in local archives or writing long-form correspondence to friends across Europe. My reading list is a mix of 18th-century classics and modern novels told through emails and texts. My profile is a slow-living sanctuary featuring fountain pens, high-quality stationery, and reviews of books that celebrate human connection through the written word. I believe that patience is a virtue and a long book is a luxury.
