WIth Every Letter by Sarah Sundin

Back Cover:

Lt. Mellie Blake is looking forward to beginning her training as a flight nurse. She is not looking forward to writing a letter to a man she’s never met–even if it is anonymous and part of a morale-building program. Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa, welcomes the idea of an anonymous correspondence–he’s been trying to escape his infamous name for years.

As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other’s true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage by their pasts?

Combining a flair for romance with excellent research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing–and true love.


Review:

This was a fabulous book. It holds a combination of wonderful characters, a great plot, history, and romance. It captivated me from the first page.

The first great thing about this novel were the characters: I grew attached to them from the very beginning, the characters grew as the story continued, and you could feel their emotions and struggles. Mellie Blake had so many stuggles that everyone can relate with: feeling out of place, difficulty making friends, wanting to be more confident and self assured. Tom MacGilliver also has problems the reader can identify with: dealing with his reputation, and having many acquaintances but few close friends.

I loved the story line. It was a fresh take on a romance novel, that I haven't seen before. I really enjoyed how the story was based on historical events (as I am a huge historical fiction fan), and exposed me to parts of WW2 that I hadn't thought about before.

I enjoyed this book from the get-go. It was a cute book with depth and a fresh story line. Sarah Sundin did an excellent job.
