A surprising number of strong contenders for #LetterV in the #alphabetgame but in the end I chose this (fictional) short reply to St Augustine's Confessions by his unnamed girlfriend.

Pickpick

A fictional novella-length letter giving the reactions of Floria, St. Augustine of Hippo's concubine who he abandoned, to his Confessions.

I enjoyed the debunking of the Confessions, and her insistence that God's creation is to be enjoyed, not despised.
