Hi!!! I don't usually write to the authors of books I've read on here but I just had to let you know how much I enjoyed reading The Language of Small Things. Absolutely breathtaking. I looked forward to each chapter and I genuinely connected with Faye on an emotional level. I cried so much when she grieved, because I could relate to the loss. The grief did not leave her, it took a different shape. I would say you wrote in great realistic detail how grief shapes and affects a person such as Faye. I loved how she seemed so put together until she wasn't. That made my heart ache for her but I absolutely appreciated how real that moment was. I genuinely had to put my phone down just to cry because it felt so real (and honestly kinda made me re-live my grief of loss).
          
          I loved reading about the small things she does, the kindness, the consistency. And then reading how all of that rippled into something so magical, it was an absolutely wonderful experience to read through. I honestly believed certain characters would stay alive because of how connected they were to Faye. But then that wasn't the case, and I appreciated it. I thought like Faye throughout the story, like what would happen if they were still alive. That sort of thing. It was all just amazing to experience and I hope one day I forget so I can experience it like the first time all over again. Reading stories that have the words to yank at your emotions and attach them to the characters so deeply is just amazing but a bit rare to find (at least for me). I am so glad I came across your story!! Wonderful and amazing job with the writing!!!

Dear Author, 
          
          I want to give you props to your wonderful writing when it comes to The language of small things. I have read it multiple times now and every time I read it it engulfes me into the story and the world. It makes me feel for Faye and want to just give her a hug, it makes me cry at times but also giggle. I came to ask if you would be okay with it, if I were to bind the language of small things for my own personal bookcase? Anyway I love your work, for both language of small things and language of small things: what comes after. It keeps on moving me. 
          
          I can't wait to see how the story of Draco and Faye will unravel in The language of small things: what comes after!

Oh this genuinely means so much to me  The fact that you’ve reread TLOST multiple times and still feel so connected to Faye and the story is honestly one of the loveliest things I could ever hear as a writer. Thank you for loving her so gently.
            
            And yes - of course you can bind it for your personal bookshelf!! The idea of TLOST existing as a real book in someone’s home honestly feels surreal to me 
            
            Also I would absolutely LOVE to see it if you do bind it. Please send me photos!! And if you don’t mind me asking, where are you based? Because now I desperately want a copy for myself too
            
            Thank you again for this beautiful message. Comments like this genuinely make all the hours of writing worth it.

Hello, my name is Elisa, and I’m from Brazil. I started your book without the intention of finishing it, not because it was bad, but because Faye was too young, just a third-year student at Hogwarts… not what I’m used to in books involving Draco Malfoy.
          
          But your book has pure magic. I started reading one chapter, then another, always smiling, finding everything adorable, and entering a world where, when I close my eyes, I can imagine every creature, every emotion, every kind of weather, and feel everything with my entire heart. It’s pure magic.
          
          I can’t deny that when Cedric died and you started writing about grief, I thought I was okay. But I wasn’t, I was actually worse than Faye. Grief is a complicated topic for me, and I knew I would come across it at some point in your book… I just didn’t know it would be so emotional.
          
          I lost my soulmate, my other half, a piece of my heart, my best friend, and absolutely the love of my life, in 2024. And to this day, it has been gray days, struggles with food, and tears that feel more powerful than a thunderstorm.
          
          I relate to Faye on so many levels. I feel her pain in every bone of my body, and I can’t stop crying when she does, or when she talks about Cedric…
          
          I feel lucky that I started reading your book with a smile and small laughs, because I never expected it to become one of the most important books I’ve ever read in my life, in so many ways.
          
          I don’t know what I will do when I finish this book, I will probably feel lost and alone, just like Faye.
          
          So I just want to congratulate you for writing a masterpiece full of magic, literally. This book has touched the most sensitive and damaged parts of my heart and soul, and I will forever remember the feeling and the magical story you created.
          
          I am deeply thankful for your life and for your gift of writing with such passion, wisdom, creativity, and sensitivity.
          
          Love,
          Elisa

Hi Elisa 
            
            I don’t even know how to properly thank you for this message.
            
            I’m so, so sorry for your loss. The way you spoke about them… your soulmate, your other half… I felt that in every word. And I want you to know that nothing about what you’re feeling is too much, or wrong, or something you should be “over” by now. Love like that doesn’t disappear - it just changes shape, and sometimes that shape is heavy and painful and hard to carry.
            
            The fact that you saw yourself in Faye means more to me than I can ever explain. When I wrote her grief, I wanted it to feel real. Not something that fades neatly, but something that lingers, that lives in quiet moments, that catches you off guard. Because when you lose someone who is your home, it doesn’t just go away.
            
            But I also wrote Faye to show something else - 
            that even with that kind of loss, there can still be small moments of light. Not instead of the pain, but alongside it. The biscuits, the creatures, the way she keeps choosing kindness… that’s not because she isn’t hurting. It’s because she is.
            
            And you’re doing the same thing, even if it doesn’t feel like it. You’re still here. You’re still feeling. You’re still loving them in the only way you can now - and that matters more than you think.
            
            I’m really honoured that this story found you, especially when you needed it. And I promise you this - you won’t be alone when you finish it. Faye doesn’t leave people like that. And neither do stories that mean something.
            
            Thank you for trusting me with something so personal. Truly.
            
            Sending you so much love

Hello,
          I’ve been reading your book The Language of Small Things since October. I lost a family member in November and this was the first human loss I’ve ever experienced. Your book was a comfort during a time where I had forgotten how to breathe. Your description of grief, the all-consuming emotions that come with it and the way the world keeps moving regardless helped me accept that it is normal, painful but normal. Your description of kindness, of finding the will to keep going, not because you necessarily want to, but because someone else needs you to, allowed me to see the future in a time that all I could see was the past. Your writing is something to cherish, and to hold onto for as long as you can. It was a book that felt like a hand keeping me steady. Thank you, for not even knowing how profound of an impact your writing would have, but still publishing it anyway. Thank you

Hello 
            
            Thank you for trusting me with something so tender. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Losing someone you love changes the shape of the world in ways nothing really prepares you for, especially when it’s the first time — it can feel like the ground has quietly disappeared beneath your feet while everything else keeps going as if nothing happened.
            
            Knowing that The Language of Small Things could sit with you during that time means more to me than I can put into words. I wrote it because I believe grief is overwhelming and ordinary at the same time — that it can hollow you out and still expect you to show up, to breathe, to keep moving. If the book helped you feel even a little less alone in that, then it has done everything I ever hoped it might.
            
            What you said about kindness and continuing because someone else needs you… that is the heart of the story. Sometimes the future doesn’t look like hope — sometimes it just looks like staying. Like holding on for one more day. And that counts. It always counts.
            
            Thank you for reading, and for letting the story hold your hand when things were heavy. I won’t forget this message. I hope you’re being gentle with yourself, and that you keep finding small, steady moments that remind you you’re still here.
            
            Sending you so much care
