Book Cover & Preview Text
"The Letter" reviewed by Rev. Fr. Dr. Stan Anih FMME (Hon), EMLQA, Director, Institute of Ecumenical Education, Thinkers Corner, Enugu, Nigeria. After reading Regina Oli Igbo's book, "The Letter", I became assured that the little things of life which seem insignificant are the ones which have profound chain reaction and implications for peace or war. For me, Regina Oli Igbo is a teacher by inclination, a psycho-analyst by implication, a guidance counselor in intent and a family spiritual director in all its ramifications. For Regina Oli Igbo, suspicion is the root of all conflicts, contradictions and confusions in our communities. I invite you to encounter Regina Oli Igbo's "The Letter", read it and make it a daily companion. The evenly high flow of this book punctuated with good English, well modulated mechanical accuracy, make it untiring until the reader finishes it. I aver that this book will make a great impact in exterminating and abating the grammatical suicide being committed by our teachers and the taught. No matter from what angle one looks at it, Regina Oli Igbo has registered herself as one of the prolific writers of our time, who has printed her name on the sands of time.

About the Book
In The Letter, which is a follow up on the story of Tiena (her first published novel), Regina Oli Igbo has deftly indicated the possibility of successfully handling a crisis in the family within the confines of the family, even when the crisis is full of intricacies. It is encouraging to read through The Letter and feel Tiena's Practical Paradigm. The Letter manifests itself as a 'love story' ending with the renewed pledge of, "We fall in love once again... For ever and ever you are mine." The novel is also imbued with 'moral adjuncts'
