Title: The Christmas Love Letters
A secret romance was just the start of the story…
Tucked into a crook of the Norfolk coast lies Nelson’s Bar – an idyllic village where time seems to stand still. Maddy Cracey has called this beautiful spot home all her life, as had her husband Adey – until an epic row sent him storming out into a blizzard, with no sign of him since that fateful night.
Six years on, and Maddy’s life in the village has settled into a gentle pattern with her young daughter and Great Aunt Ruthie. However, when handsome stranger Raff turns up with a handful of long-forgotten love letters, their quiet life is upended as family secrets from the past are unearthed.
As Raff and Maddy get to know each other, they grow closer and a love story of their own seems inevitable. But when Maddy receives a mysterious message, she can’t help but wonder whether her own past is as distant as she'd thought it was…
The festive new novel about love, family and the power of words from Sunday Times bestseller Sue Moorcroft, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Phillipa Ashley.
Warmed my heart and gave me warm fuzzy feelings, but not without a fair amount of drama in the lead up.
We have long lost family members, secrets, a blending of families, plus friends and family to get to know. There is so much going on in this story, and above all there are some love letters.
I wouldn't even know where to start in trying to tell you how fabulous this book is, but it has to be one of Sue Moorcroft's best, if not the best. Once I got to grips with the characters, I was utterly hooked on the story.
I was thinking about it when I wasn't reading and read most of the second half in one sitting without any awareness of the world around me.
It's just such a gorgeous story and perfect for this time of year, with some of the more serious themes broken up with the lightness which is 6 year old Lyla. Who is mega excited for Christmas.
I loved Nelson's Bar, and getting to know Maddy and her family. And as Maddy is a carer for her great aunt, we get some insight into life with a partially sighted older person who also suffers quite badly from asthma. I loved Ruthie and really felt for her at times.
I really don't want to say too much more other than if you are already a Sue Moorcroft fan, then you definitely need to read this book, and if you have never read her before, then this is a great book to start you off with a new favourite author.
Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
Thanks so much, Rachel! I'm thrilled to bits that you enjoyed The Christmas Love Letters so much, when you read so many books. :-)
