Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn is a progressively lipogrammic epistolary fable.

I cannot take credit for that sentence, that is the extended title of the book.

This was the kind of book where you finish the last few pages with a giant smile on your face, because it was the cutest and most clever book you’ve ever read. The wordplay, the overt messages relating to religious tyranny, the resolution in the end! I loved it all. 

I really don’t want to give anything away about the plot. Read it for yourself. It took me two afternoons. You will be so pleased.

(And I know I’ve been changing it around a lot, but the rest of my summer reading list can be found here.)
