In the mid-1970's, a homely, friendless Australian girl of 8 picks a name
out of a Manhattan phone book and writes to him; she includes a chocolate
bar. She's Mary Dinkle, the only child of an alcoholic mother and a
distracted father. He's Max Horowitz, living alone in New York, overweight,
subject to anxiety attacks. He writes back, with chocolate. Thus begins a
20-year correspondence, interrupted by a stay in an asylum and a few
misunderstandings. Mary falls in love with a neighbor, saves money to have
a birthmark removed and deals with loss. Max has a friendship with a
neighbor, tries to control his weight, and finally gets the dream job. Will
the two ever meet face to face?
It is a simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people;
Mary Dinkle, living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and New Yorker
Max Horovitz. Spanning 20 years and 2 continents, Mary and Max's friendship
survives much more than the average diet of life's ups and downs.
