In From A to X: A Story in Letters, internationally-acclaimed author John Berger conjures an epistolary romance between an insurgent named Xavier and his beloved A'ida. With every letter, a larger sense of their world emerges: Xavier's revolutionary activities, for which he was imprisoned, are revealed as A'ida narrates the ongoing disappearance of neighbors and friends from the village, and the military planes flying overhead. A story of love defying oppression, From A to X is a deeply moving meditation on resistance, and the strength of the human spirit.

Industry Reviews

"An exquisitely written and constructed novel."Sunday Times "A soaring romance of heroic virtue and true love." Evening Standard "The record of one restless, committed, brilliant consciousness; a late showcase of astonishing range and depth, which should be read as an epic poem or lyrical essay as much as a novel." Melissa Benn, Independent John Berger has given us an exquisite thing. This is a book of controlled rage sculpted with tools of tenderness and a searing political vision. --Arundhati Roy "From A to X is one of the most tender and poignant books I have read for many years. Its power rests in its economy of means, its account of enduring love surviving oppression. It demonstrates that however foul the forces oppressing us, love and the human spirit are indestructible". Harold Pinter
