I love this book so much. The characters are realistic, and the mystery-romance makes the plot very enjoyable! I would read every book Kathryn Hughes has written!

    Creatively Woven Tale!
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017*

A touching intricately woven tale of love, loss, survival and joy.SUMMARYTwo women, who were born decades apart, lives are intricately woven to create a story of friendship, love and the kindness of strangers that can make a world of difference in a life.  Chrissie Skinner lives in Manchester England in the late 1930s. She lives with her controlling parents and in order not to bring shame on the family she is ultimately forced to move to Tipperary, Ireland to live with an aunt.Tina Craig lives in Manchester in the 1970s and is unhappily married to an abusive and alcoholic husband. She volunteers at a charity shop on Saturdays, and one day while sorting through the pockets of an expensive secondhand suit she comes across an old letter. The letter is firmly sealed, and had never been mailed.  Tina opens the letter and finds it was written on September 4, 1939. She's moved by the contents and wonders why the letter was never mailed. She embarks on a major quest to find out what became of both the writer and the intended recipient.  The letter had a major impact on her life.The mystery of how this love letter ended up in Tina's hands is uncovered through Billy Stirling’s story from the late 1930’s.  He writes a letter to his love that could change his life forever, but unbeknownst to Billy, that letter will not be delivered for thirty-four years.REVIEWTHE LETTER is a touching tale of love, loss, survival and joy. The book was immediately engaging. KATHRYN HUGHES has created a page-turning story that will keep you entertained. Chapters alternate between Chrissie, Billy and Tina; and between 1973 and 1939. Despite the various points on view and change in timeframes, the book is remarkably easy to follow.  Hughes writing is easy to read.  Both Chrissie and Tina’s characters are human, with human strengths and weaknesses; and both grow a great deal emotionally during the course of the book. The ending of the book was throughly satisfying. Overall, it's a creative book and definitely worth the read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A heart-warming read
  

*by E***U on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024*

Truly enjoyable read which left me riveted to every page. We are routing for those in search of their lost loved-ones. A book that talks about love and hate where the former, most fortunately, triumphs in the end.
