Letters in Blue (Book 1, ebook)

"If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me."
~W.H. Auden (1907-1973), The More Loving One

In 2024, Ingrid Sloane is on vacation from her job as a nurse in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Ingrid's grandmother followed her heart to Australia, marrying the love of her life. After hearing stories of her grandmother's birthplace while growing up, Ingrid has always wanted to visit the Isle of Skye. Ingrid didn't anticipate that she would listen to a moving love story from a Scottish local who has never married and has kept a bundle of blue aerogrammes he received.

In 1990, Lucy Pellegreen's life took an unexpected turn. During the 6 months she had been living on the Isle of Skye, she met the love of her life. They were happy and excited about their future plans, especially their intention to marry and spend the rest of their lives together. However, before Lucy could return home to share her joy with her family, an urgent call came from her sister, Mandy. Their mother had suffered a stroke, and Lucy had to rush back to Australia. Her lovely news would have to wait.

With dreams of traveling to Scotland and Australia, I became captivated by a story that invites readers to visit both countries within an enchanting narrative. This dual timeline story blends themes of family life, romance, and mystery, making it an engaging page-turner in both time periods. The novel features wonderful characters and vividly describes the landscapes, allowing readers to feel as though they are truly experiencing the events.

I look forward to reading more of the author's writing. One story is simply not enough!
