Let Them Call us Crazies
Five couples exchange only letters in the month before their weddings — secrets, sarcasm, and longing on paper, no meetings allowed.
Overview
Five couples. One rule: no meetings. For the month before their weddings, these pairs communicate only through letters — handwritten, private, unbuffered by the softening effects of eye contact or shared silence. What fills those pages is everything courtship usually keeps polished: secrets, desires, humour that cuts a little close, sarcasm that reveals as much as it conceals, and the specific longing that comes from proximity without presence.
Hitesh Goenka structures the novel around the correspondence itself, giving readers direct access to the letters rather than narrating around them. The conceit is that constraint produces honesty — that the enforced distance of the epistolary form strips away performance and leaves something more genuine than a conventional courtship would allow. Five different pairs, five different voices, and the recurring discovery that putting things in writing requires you to know what you actually think.
