T/W- Rape, Abortion
This was a book that my boyfriend found one day in his hometown, that had been placed by the Book Fairies!
A historical fiction novel but with two POVs of two women, one from the 1940s and the other from the present day really got me interested in giving this novel a try. The main character from the present day Roberta works in a secondhand bookshop and loves to find old letters and postcards that have been tucked away in books. The other main character from the 1940s called Dorothea lives in a cottage with her husband fighting away in the Second World War. Both women fall in love, suffer heartbreak but both want to find their paths in life. Although I liked the letters and historical aspect, I struggled to connect with the writing style and some of the characters behaviour throughout.
