The Letter by Kathryn Hughes | Waterstones

This truly is a wonderful book, I found it to be very deep and beautifully written and it is one book that I think will stay with me for a long time.

Both Chrissie and Tina’s characters are human, with human strengths and weaknesses; and both grow a great deal emotionally during the course of the book. Taking the reader on a journey from the east coast of America, the rustic farmlands of Southern Ireland and the bustling streets of Manchester, I was gripped from start to finish. She is torn and unsure if he has really changed, but she finds herself pregnant from the last violent time he raped her. Tina despite now being pregnant wants to uncover the story of the letter and her quest and even her own journey have now begun but there is more heartbreak to come for Tina. THE LETTER tells the story of two women, born decades apart, whose paths are destined to cross and how one woman’s devastation leads to the other’s salvation.

With a swift pace, memorable characters and a wonderful conceptual depth, Hughes’ novel is one that simply can’t be put down. As the novel begins present day, we hear from a granddaughter and grandmother while visiting in the lovely garden, pulling weeds, (symbols for people in our lives-everything belongs).The choices they made were not always the preferred choices, mostly they were borne out of necessity due to the circumstances of that era. Intrigued by the people and the story behind the letter Tina sets out to find the person who the letter was intended for.
