This was an intriguing book, as well as informative and heartwarming. The book is a collection of letters that Chris sent to Bessie, and showed us, not only did love survive the war, but also that love can blossom and survive.

The last chapter is from their grandson, and tells the lovely story of their long and happy life together. My only gripe is that the letters are one sided, so it was kinda like listening to one end of a phone call. So it is a great shame that more of Bessie's letters didn't survive.

Overall a lovely little book for anyone to curl up with.

Lovely collection of one couple's correspondence during World War 2. Most of the letters are from Chris Barker to his darling Bessie waiting for him back in England. I wish more of her letters to Chris had survived the war. I loved the peek into their world whilst they were falling in love and how their relationship changed throughout the war. For anyone who loves epistolary fiction these real life missives do not disappoint.
