Very much a love story, which sometimes reads so sweet it's saccharine.

Letters from Skye is a sweet book about pen pals who fall in love across continents and through many years of letters. I appreciated the development of their letters from witty banter to poetic expressions of their love to one another. When David first starts writing to Elspeth, she is already married to Iain. The story unfolds as the two continue to write and struggle with their guilt about Iain and what will happen once the war ends and Iain comes home to Elspeth. I enjoyed their story and moved quickly through it. Letters from Skye is a 4 star read for me.
