" I pour emotions into my journal, write lines of poetry, and yet nothing changes. I can express all the anger and fear and hope I have within me, use the most beautiful words in the English language, or write a stream of muddled rambling thoughts - it makes not one bit of difference. They are, after all, just words on a page. No matter what I truly think of this war, I cannot stop it."
.
Oh wow! What a beautifully written epistolary novel. I love this book so much, I am wondering why I haven't read it before!? A very easy 5 stars to Last Christmas in Paris for making me laugh, cry, and rejoice in the hope of humanity.
.
Evelyn Elliot watches two of her closest men ship off to war, her brother Will and her childhood friend Thomas. All are optimistic that this War to End All Wars will be over by Christmas, but of course we all know that it will rage on for four more years and create more loss of live and devastation than previously seen in the world. It is always so hard for me to read about World War I and know that World War II is just around the corner. I felt the same way reading Evie and Thomas' letters, knowing how much they suffer and lose during WWI.
.
The end of this book is just beautiful. I recommend to anyone who loves an epistolary, or historical fiction, or simply just beautiful writing.
