I read the book after I fell in love with the Netflix production. I was surprised that the format of the book is a collection of letters. I've never read a book with this kind of format and I have to say that I loved it more than I thought I would. I think it really enhanced the romantic feel of the story. I love all the characters so much and I love the plot even more. Found family stories really, really get me emotional and the added bonus of this being a love story makes it even better! 5/5 would recommend it to anyone who loves historical romance or books about books.

5.0

Certainly one of my favorite epistolary novels. Moving story told in two time settings, one in the Second World War. Elegantly written and effervescent.

Recommended for appreciators of Atonement (I know that's about WWI), The Water Horse (movie), and BBC historical fiction programs.

I also want to mention some of my other favorite epistolary novels: The Color Purple, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Where'd You Go Bernadette.
