Publisher's Summary
A sophisticated, pause-resistant 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 readers and listeners who have made One Day and The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society best sellers.

"Loved the story; loved the narrator!"
Classic love story - well read - great listen! Just as good as "Me Than You" - different, but just as well written and read. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

"Totally Romantic"
One of the best novels I've listened to in a long time. It's beautifully written, suspenseful and very romantic, featuring star-crossed lovers in the 1960s and in the early 21st century.

"couldn't wait to hear what happens next"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Letter from Your Lover to be better than the print version?I didn't read the print version
What did you like best about this story?I liked the way it didn't give away the ending and let you have some hope. I loved the characters-they were very real in their feelings and actions.
Which character – as performed by Susan Lyons – was your favorite?I thought she really captured Jennifer-the socialite, but also, the lost girl
If you could take any character from The Last Letter from Your Lover out to dinner, who would it be and why?I think I would take Jennifer-she seems so genuine and really cared about people. I'd like to know how she brought out the best in others,
Any additional comments?My daughter told me to listen to this book and I'm so glad that I did. It had romance, mystery,sorrow, but with a happy ending. What more could you ask for?

"Nice storyline"
What did you like best about The Last Letter from Your Lover? What did you like least?I liked the happy ending , but I didn't like how relationships are based on cheating .. even of the other partner is not worth it .. try separating before getting involved with anyone for a change
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)I had to rewind the last paragraph twice to fully understand that it was a happy ending , but I was kind of expecting it
Which scene was your favorite?When Jennifer called Ellie for the first time , and all the scenes with Rory
If this book were a movie would you go see it?I think they made the same story as a movie with much better morals ( Letters to Juliet) very nice movie check it out
Any additional comments?I didn't enjoy this book as much as I wanted but I was glad that I listened to it .. the narrator is so slow put her on x2 and you'll be fine :)

"Good to a Point"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Letter from Your Lover to be better than the print version?No, I think it's easier to follow with the print version and there are little paragraphs at the start of every chapter that you miss out on when listening to the audio.
Who was your favorite character and why?Jennifer, the way it was spoken truly captured how I thought she would sound.
What does Susan Lyons bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?More depth to the characters. The slight change invoices.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?no
Any additional comments?I'm not sure I am reading a different published edition to this book but some of the words & sentience structures slightly change through out the audio book compared to the print.
