Overview

When journalist Ellie looks through her newspaper's archives for a story, she doesn't think she'll find anything of interest. Instead she discovers a letter from 1960, written by a man asking his lover to leave her husband - and Ellie is caught up in the intrigue of a past love affair. Despite, or perhaps because of her own romantic entanglements with a married man. In 1960, Jennifer wakes up in hospital after a car accident. She can't remember anything - her husband, her friends, who she used to be. And then, when she returns home, she uncovers a hidden letter, and begins to remember the lover she was willing to risk everything for. Ellie and Jennifer's stories of passion, adultery and loss are wound together in this richly emotive novel - interspersed with real 'last letters'.

'An utterly absorbing and blissfully romantic read' -- Daily Telegraph 'Beautifully written ... an exquisite tale of love lost, love found and the power of letter writing.' ***** -- Sunday Express 'A gorgeously romantic and partner-ignoringly compulsive read ... Immaculately paced, genuinely touching and stuffed with Mad Men-esque period details, it's a page-turner that loves words themselves.' -- Independent on Sunday 'The best book of the summer ... a totally un-put-downable read but one that should come with a severe warning: this will make you cry buckets on the beach. Beautiful.' -- Stylist 'Wonderfully moving and unashamedly romantic ... packed with emotion, it will have you captivated from the very first page' -- Woman 'Two stories brilliantly intertwine in this unputdownable, top-class romantic read.

Utterly compulsive and swooningly romantic, it's just perfect.' -- Jenny Colgan 'This paper does not always look kindly on pink-jacketed pieces of chick lit. But Moyes is that delicious thing: a chick lit authoress more interested in how things are than in Hallmark card-style cliche ... you'll be glued to it right through ... Delicious? Certainly. Tear-jerking? You'll see.' -- Zoe Strimpel, City A.M. '[Provides] a peek at love through poignant letters ending relationships.' -- News of the World 'I am evangelical about this book ... properly old-fashioned romantic but it's an amazing amazing piece of plotting ... stunningly romantic ...
