520    "One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from
       school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question
       on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come 
       from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes 
       obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she 
       knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she
       enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering 
       Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while 
       receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde?
       And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this 
       riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning--
       but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than 
       she could have imagined"--Cover p. [4].
