The Love Note by Joanna Davidson Politano


                                                                         Book Synopsis

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.

Laced with mysteries large and small, this romantic Victorian-era tale of love lost, love deferred, and love found is sure to delight.
 

My thoughts:

The Love Note is such a beautiful novel. Not only is the cover beautiful but the story itself is equally beautiful.  As much as I wanted to read this book as fast as I possibly could, I read it at slower pace than I normally do, so I could savor each and every word the author has written.

The premise of the book fascinated me as did the dialog, and the letter discovered by Willa piqued my curiosity as much as it did hers.  I originally thought that Willa would be my favorite character, but that changed throughout the story as so many interesting characters made their appearance.  I loved how the letter made its way around Crestwicke Manor and how many lives it touched.   I especially loved the ending, even though I wasn’t ready for it to end.

There is so much to love about this book and the authors writing that I would wind up gushing if I continue to rave about how phenomenal The Love Note is.  Not only do I recommend this novel but also anything written by this author.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are completely my own.
