Relation During Books The Letter

Kathryn Hughes’ new ebook The Letter offers readers a chance to absorb themselves in the lives of two women, born decades apart but whose lives share a number of parallels. The novel explores two historical strands, bringing together an abused housewife from the 1970s and a young girl from the early 1940s in a story of love, loss and unexpected consequences.

The Letter follows the life of Tina in the 1970s who seeks respite from her abusive marriage by volunteering at a charity shop. One day, while sorting through the pockets of a second-hand suit, she comes across an old letter. It is still firmly sealed and un-franked. Unable to resist the pull of curiosity, Tina opens the letter. It was written on 4th September 1939. She is so moved by the contents and bemused as to why the letter was never delivered, she embarks on a quest to find out what became of the writer and his intended recipient.

The mystery of how this love letter ended up in Tina’s hands is also uncovered through Billy’s story from the early 1940s. He writes a letter that will change his life forever, unaware that it will not be read for another 34 years, and then by a complete stranger.

With a swift pace, memorable characters and a wonderful conceptual depth, Hughes’ novel is one that simply can’t be put down.

A very difficult 3.5 star rating (originally going to be 4)T/W- Domestic violence, Rape, Assault, StillbirthI loved Kathryn's novel The Secret when I received an ARC of that for review a while back, having found a cheap secondhand copy of her debut novel The Letter, I was excited to see why lots of readers had read and loved this book. The premise of the letter was definitely what appealed to me the most before I dived into the adventure. The novel is split into three parts, the first opening in

Part 1 of this book was awesome. It hooked me in, sunk its claws in my heart, and sent me back in time. I was in love with the characters and plead that things would work out. Then Part 2 and Part 3 happened.And they sucked.Bad. As in they ruined the whole story. Most of the time I was rolling my eyes over the amount of corniness in the contrived dialogue. No one talks like that! Each and every word broke the magic of Part 1 and brought me back to a remembrance that I was, here, in my house,

Fabulous!!I should have read this when I first got it. What a great story. I have thoroughly enjoyed every page and was sad to see it end.

2.5 stars round up to 3. This dual narrative set in the 1970's and 1939 was a fairly predictable storyline that had a Hallmark Hall of Fame type vibe. The readers are taken from Manchester to Ireland and the USA. I did find the story was a nice light read and I would love to read more by the author.
