A Meeting By the River, by Christopher Isherwood

This is another of my Aunt Susan's recommendations, and it was a really interesting read. It's kind of an exercise in point-of-view. You get the story of two estranged brothers coming back together as one becomes a Hindu monk, but you get the story mostly in letters from the two to each other and others, as well as a few journal entries by the monk-to-be. It's fascinating how Isherwood establishes, and allows us to discover, the character of the two men by their different voices when they write to each other, to their mother, to their wife, to their secret lovers. Very engaging.
