The Last Letter from Your Lover Reviews
BookBrowse Says
"The Last Letter from Your Lover is unquestioningly romantic but, unfortunately, I find myself unable to recommend it. The first section could have been lifted from the script of a bad 1960s movie. It's predictable, melodramatic and the characters are complete stereotypes. Even the writing is poor; several times I had to re-read sentences while attempting to figure out what the author was trying to say or to whom a conversation was referring, greatly interrupting the flow of the novel. The chapters were laid out in a confusing manner as well, jumping between the few months before and the few months after the heroine's accident with an inconsistency that was maddening. The only positive thing I can say about this first section is that it paints a good picture of British society in the early 1960s, when pregnant women drank alcohol, smoking was ubiquitous, and racist and sexist attitudes were de rigueur.
The second section is somewhat better in that the writing is more natural, less over-the-top, and the characters are more likeable and three-dimensional. The plot, though, is still terribly predictable and isn't enough to overcome the deficiencies of the rest of the book." - Kim Kovacs
Others Say
"British journalist/novelist Moyes's (Horsedancer) latest book is the perfect read for those who enjoy a more serious romance as well as a British turn of phrase..." - Library Journal
"Starred Review. A nicely judged sense of period and the author's full-blooded commitment lend heartfelt emotion to simple characters in a tour de force of its kind." - Kirkus Reviews
"Beautifully written... an exquisite tale of love lost, love found and the power of letter writing." - Sunday Express (UK)
"An utterly absorbing and blissfully romantic read." - Daily Telegraph (UK)
"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 (UK)
"A fabulous, emotional and evocative book..." - Sophie Kinsella, author of Confessions of a Shopaholic

Not your Average Romance Book
Entertaining enough at first to keep my interest in continuing to read it...towards the end I could not put it down. A romantic book with a twist!
