Book Description:
Focused
on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off
course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter
in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who
penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at
the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor.
Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who
wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing
clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she
misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each
finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words.
My
Review:
I enjoyed reading Willa's story in The Love
Note. She's a woman on a mission that goes a bit sideways, which makes for
a wonderful story. The characters at Crestwicke won my heart, even the ones who
were a bit difficult. I loved the twists and turns the note caused and the
story of why the note was written. The setting adds to the story, especially
the place where Willa goes to think and pray. Joanna Davidson Politano has
written a beautiful story to be savored. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this
review are completely my own.
