Love letters that result in misunderstandings and unrequited love? How fabulous! However, this interesting plot scheme could have been so much more. There was a lot of introspection that at times was very enlightening but other times it became rather tedious. I did like that the hero had to overcome a war disability and subsequent readjustment into civilian/society life and how that very disability made him a stronger man. Frances, on the other hand, annoyed me with her secrets and I just didn't feel connected to her as I did Henry. Still, I felt lots of scenes were well done, making this story an entertaining and heartfelt read. 3.5 stars.
