Praise for Letters From Skye A love story to the power of the written word.USA Today Jessica Brockmole is a gifted storyteller who weaves beauty and emotion into her pages. I know that you want to find where you came from from before you’ll know where to go.” Letters from Skye, an epistolary love story spanning two world wars, available now from Ballantine Books. The present and the future are built on the past. Reminiscent of 84 Charing Cross Road and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Spanning over both World Wars, this book is a divine testament to love, the written word, family, mothers and daughters, and the perils of war. The mysteries/twists surrounding the main characters’ romance, the sub-characters and the letters going back and forth was well told and kept the story going at a good pace.
Both characters were likeable, flawed and full of personality. I was unfamiliar with the author which was another welcome surprise! This book takes on the power of the pen and the ability to fall in love purely through one’s thoughts and emotions. This book is an ARC and I was so happy to receive it as I am quite fond of epistolary fiction. Letters from Skye: A Novel Jessica Brockmole 2,250 Paperback 16.
