One Hundred Eighty-Four Letters
by Diné Van Niekerk

Alinah never expected love to arrive quietly. But when Nico Hayes chose her, it wasn't with grand gestures or noise it was with presence. With laughter in the kitchen. With slow mornings and shared silence.

then the letters.

What follows is not a love story told in retrospect, but one written in real time letter by letter for every single day Nico loved her. One hundred eighty-four of them. A record of devotion. Of memory. Of choosing her again and again, even as the world shifted around them.

But the letters begin to reveal more than just affection. Tucked between ink and intimacy are pieces of Nico Alinah never truly saw his fears, his regrets, and the ache he hid so well. As she reads, Alinah is forced to confront not just what they had, but what they almost lost.

One Hundred Eighty-Four Letters is a story of love written forward. Of a man who used paper to hold time still, and a woman learning how to receive love in all its quiet, breathtaking truth.

A novel about intimacy, memory, and the spaces we fill with words when there's nothing else left to say.
