The Last Letter from Your Lover (Paperback)
Jojo Moyes (author)Published: 03/02/2011
From the bestselling author of Me Before You comes a poignant and absorbing novel about two women separated by decades yet united in a desire to escape their unhappy relationships.
Spanning forty years, two women's stories of love, loss and betrayal are intertwined in this award-winning novel by Jojo Moyes, internationally bestselling author of Me Before You, After You and the new bestseller Still Me.
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'.

“So Romantic”
I loved this book so romantic, why did the art of writing letters have to die?. Can enduring love survive the passing years and turmoil.
