The Last Letter From Your Lover
By Jojo Moyes
Captivating and heartwarming, The Last Letter From Your Lover is a tale of love lost and rediscovered.
Ellie, a young journalist who has lost the passion for her features writing job, is assigned to a project - to write an interesting piece on the history of her newspaper as it prepares to move base to a brand new, state-of-the-art office.
In her quest, she finds these old love letters and begins to piece the jigsaw together - not realising she's about to discover the past she's researching has a resonance with her today.
The book, by Jojo Moyes, covers many themes, including love, relationships, career, our pasts, and so many more. But at the heart of it is how times have changed. In the 1960s, successful businessman's wife would be ostricised socially for leaving her husband for another man, especially one who isn't of the same social standing. Would it really matter so much today?
The Last Letter From Your Lover is one of the books I've read that I didn't want to end, which to me is the sign of a job well done. If you're happy to cast the book aside, has it actually made any impact or given you any food for thought?
I wanted to know more - did Ellie get the love she deserved? Could there be a future for Jennifer and Anthony? In my head the answer is yes to both.
