Letters of Yearning
So we have the play between her strong, knowing self and her shy, coming of age identity. It isn't until the end that she really "finds herself" and determines what it is that she really wants and needs in her life. I think this is consistent with reality as at my age I feel that my life is only really coming together and going in the direction I choose now.
I feel that the letters are a very important addition to the book and assist in giving depth to the story.

Not designed for teenagers.
I do not think that this book was intended for the teenage demographic and nor would I encourage a teenager to read it- unless of course they show good maturity.
The themes in the book are easy to relate to. Its a story of love and loss and making some heartbreaking decisions. At 27 years of age I enjoyed the read and while its not a book I would read often- its definitely one I'd keep in my bookshelf and read on a quiet rainy day with a cuppa or snuggled under my doona when the kids have gone to bed.
The prose is well written, the storyline is not cliche and has a surprising ending. I think that this is a well written and well thought out book. I have read it through twice and thoroughly enjoyed the read both times.
I think that the themes are relevant still to mothers over 30 as they can read it with an empathetic mind and understand the agony that parents go through when stuff like this happens.

An artistic Impression on the mind...
The depth of feeling and emotion conveyed through the love letters of the young 16 year old girl appear a bit mature for her age because of the amount of very immature 16 year olds we see but I know myself that some teenagers fall "outside the norm" and exceed the maturity of their peers as I myself was writing poetry far above what was expected for my age when I was only 15.
The letters draw the reader in and you are able to "feel with the characters and empathize with them". The subject matter to some people may seem like your ordinary run of the mill cliche- home and away type drama but if you really read it, you'll find that its not.
Yes it is about a teenage girl expressing feelings for her teacher and reading about their sexual experiences together initially makes you uncomfortable and almost as if you are entering the world of pedophilia but why is this? What makes us feel this way when we read things like this?
I think that Kate has done well in broaching a subject that we feel uncomfortable with. Her writing is thought provoking and draws us into the type of stories that we know exist in real life but that we prefer not to think about.
I find "The Yearning" to be an artistic expression and one that leaves an emotional imprint on the mind. The letters are well written and haunting. The subject of love is elusive to even the most seasoned of us out there and I think that the looking for love and its meaning is portrayed well in this book.
Everyone also expects books to end on a happy note and the ending in "The Yearning" is a little unexpected. It differs from the cliched type ending one would expect and leaves a bittersweet feeling in the pit of your stomach.
I like the way this story has been put together as it is poignantly beautiful, is different and makes you think, ponder and question... It tugs at your heartstrings throughout while managing to both repulse as well as engage the reader at the same time.
"The Yearning" is a book that will stay with you long after you've read it.

Heartacheingly Beautiful...
The way in which language is used is achingly beautiful and the story unfolds in an interesting way. I particularly love the setting of the story- as I myself live in a quiet country town. Kates' use of the english language does transport me back to the old Australian outback with all its rugged charm.
Even the cover of the book is poignantly beautiful and the title is simple, gives the potential reader some indication of what the novel will be about but still retains an elusive sense of mystery.
I have in fact read the whole story already as I simply could not put the book down for long but I intend to read the book through again to give a more substantial review.

An intriguing tale of youth, forbidden love and loss.
I loved how Kate gave both characters a voice, the young girl with her notes to Solomon and his thoughts in turn. The ripple effect of their relationship reverberates even after a quarter of a century leaving them both wanting and lacking something in their lives; the young girl never finds a man who measures up to how Solomon made her feel intimately and Solomon can never find someone who adores him as the young girl did during their brief affair.
The Yearning is a beautifully written story about love,infatuation,obsession,discovery,loss of love and life. It may not be everyone's cup of tea( the controversial relationship may make some people uncomfortable) but I think it is so touching and evocative a story.It is really worth the read!

An intimate story of love lost
Putting the age and other factors aside, the writing does arouse certain senses, if you know what I mean, and this can never be a bad thing!
I enjoyed the book so much, that there were times I didn't want to put it down. My husband also enjoyed some paragraphs that I would read to him, when he wanted to know what I was reading about. He described it as mummy porn! Ha ha
Would recommend this book.

The Yearning - A good read
It read fluently both in plot and the continuity of the characters, however I am not sure it is a book I would add to my book case to reread.
It bought back memories of the crushes and the volatility of the teen years.
Good read if you want something not to heavy

Nice easy ready over a hot coffee...
When I first started reading I got the impression that it was a "romance" novel, but there weren't many sex scenes and turned into quite an interesting tale about love, loss and self discovery.
The ending left a lot of questions for me that even a week later I am still pondering. ..
