LoT Book CLub - Book 2 - Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I have a niggling question, for those who have already read this book:

Spoiler:

What did you think the significance was in having the young girl's letters go missing? Where do you suppose they went? The ether? The netherworld? Why did the author *not* want him to receive them? Of all the unresolved strands (and I didn't mind them being unresolved; i rather liked not knowing the fate of the sisters, etc.) But the disappeared letters left me curious.
