Publisher's summary

Major motion picture premiering on Netflix on July 23, starring Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, and Callum Turner.

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Giver of Stars, a sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years, and an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times.

It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband.

Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives. She becomes obsessed by the story and hopeful that it can resurrect her faltering career. Perhaps if these lovers had a happy ending she will find one to her own complicated love life, too. Ellie's search will rewrite history and help her see the truth about her own modern romance.

A spellbinding, intoxicating love story with a knockout ending, The Last Letter from Your Lover will appeal to the listeners who have made One Day and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society best sellers.

Critic reviews

"With its realistically complicated characters and emotionally complex plot, The Last Letter from Your Lover is hopelessly and hopefully romantic." (Chicago Tribune)

"Crafting a love story that feels not just compelling but true is a very difficult thing indeed - and yet, with The Last Letter from Your Lover, Jojo Moyes has done it twice. I found myself utterly transfixed by both sets of lovers in this marvelous novel. Moyes is a tremendously gifted storyteller, and I'm all admiration." (Paula McLain, New York Times best-selling author of The Paris Wife)

"A fabulous, emotional, and evocative book - perfect for anyone who loves Mad Men." (Sophie Kinsella, best-selling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic)

Roller coaster of love!

Bought this on a whim during one of audible's sales and had no idea I would be so moved and engrossed by it. This is not your typical, predictable romance novel-- the author kept slinging out new facets to the story that I never saw coming. Sadness and wonder, joy and pain-- a roller coaster worth the ride!

a beautifully written and narrated love story!

from beginning to end, the story was captivating. as usual, the author spun an intricate tale that makes one want to sit and listen for hours at a time. The narration was absolutely terrific!

Beautiful listening!

This is a beautiful love story! Jojo Moyes never disappoints me. The performance is great and it really engaged me. As always, the book is way better than the movie (and I have to say that I love the movie!)

Delightful Listen If A Bit Long

The narrator's performance was excellent and the story was quite engaging. However, it did require a bit of patience to stick with it, but I was glad I did! Lots of twists and turns and the author managed to write an ending that did not disappoint.
