Last Letter Home

Linda
Touching wartime story, with resonance to today's stories of misplaced people. The romance revolved around a garden and how nature can sustain hope in dark places. An easy read, good for holiday. Could have done without the romantic nonsense around Briony 6 out of 10.

'Last Letter Home' is a dual timeline story. Present day is Briony, a historian that discovers love letters from the war between English born Sarah Bailey, and English/German Paul Hartman.
The wartime storyline was very sweet and interesting. However, he present day romance storyline was not enjoyable to read, I did not warm to any of the characters at all.
Overall, this book was overly long with too much description and characters that brought nothing to the story.
4/10

After a public humiliation Briony takes refuge in her past after a chance encounter while recuperating on an Italian holiday. She seeks to uncover her Grandfather's story and Briony pieces together letters that tell of war torn Britain and a love that conquers prejudice and heartbreak. A good read that leaves you wanting more. 5/10
