The Letter

Author: Kathryn Hughes
Genre: Fiction
Publisher: Headline Book Publishing, Limited, 2016
Pages: 416
Rating: Recommend

Synopsis: Tina Craig longs to escape her violent husband. She works all the hours God sends to save up enough money to leave him, also volunteering in a charity shop to avoid her unhappy home. Whilst going through the pockets of a second hand suit, she comes across an old letter, the envelope firmly sealed and unfranked. Tina opens the letter and reads it - a decision that will alter the course of her life forever. . .

Billy Stirling knows he has been a fool, but he hopes he can put things right. On 4th September 1939, he sits down to write the letter he hopes will change his future. It does - in more ways than he can ever imagine.

Review: Tragic, sweet, heartbreaking, and predictable. While it started slow, it picked up momentum, and I couldn't turn pages fast enough about midway through.
