A review by katie_barty
Love Letters of the Great War by Mandy Kirkby, Helen Dunmore

5.0

This quirky glimpse into life during WW1 is a treasure I honestly think everyone should read. This charming little book captures the hardships, the laughter, the relationships and the reality that was life in WW1. This gem was a wonderful reading experience for myself, With the previous owner of the book creating such lovely and detailed annotations in my edition that only added enjoyment of my reading of these true letters. I would recommend this book to anyone, it shows the humanity of men and women during WW1 and while some letters being utterly heart breaking, it also captures the positivity and strength these people had during this time to enjoy any normality and still find chances to laugh. A book full of utter inspiration.
