Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) -
New addition to my (very short) 5-star novel list. I loved this novel so much, I hugged it when I was done! It's been in my TBR Christmas novels stack for far too long - I had no idea how lovely Evie and Tom's story would be.
This is an epistolary novel told almost entirely through letters, telegrams, and newspaper columns. It's primarily a WWI story featuring England and France with a second timeline in December 1968. It need not be read at Christmastime, but the experience is richer when you do.
I listened to the audiobook (with its talented cast of actors with British accents!) while occasionally following along in a print copy and that was the perfect arrangement. I rarely re-read books but reading this powerful novel may be my newest Christmas tradition.
If you haven't read this yet, consider this me pressing this novel into your hands
