Sad but heartwarming story of two women - one from the 1940's and one from the 1970's - whose lives become linked by an unposted letter. Once I had picked this book up I quickly discovered I could not put it down! Beautifully written, with characters that I really cared about, this book had me smiling and tearful in equal measure. I will definitely be looking out for more by this author in the future. Small warning - story contains depictions of abusive relationships and child death.
