With Every Letter

Wings of the Nightingale, Book 1

De: Sarah Sundin

Narrado por: Kate Rudd

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.

Any additional comments?

It showed honest evaluation and mistakes. Some great humor. Light and easy as well as spiritually encouraging. Thanks!

great story and wonderful narrator!

I loved this story. It may have gone a tad long but never lost my attention. The narrator was one of the best I've heard. I'm not sure if the military truly allowed so much lovey-dovey stuff, so I chalked that up to fiction and just enjoyed the story. I highly recommend this one.

A love story even a guy cry over

Would you listen to With Every Letter again? Why?

Yes. I experienced every emotion possible with the characters as they struggled and lived. This was one heck of a roller coaster ride that I plan to enjoy again and again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of With Every Letter?

Mel's many struggles to maintain her faith in the face of major adversity.

Which scene was your favorite?

The dog being a hero as he saves major deconstruction of an airfield to repair a communications cable. I have a dog just like that.

Any additional comments?

I loved the interweaving of faith and happiness so lacking in stories today. I want to hear more from the author and reader.

The MMC is a coward and a milksop

Spoilers ahead. The MMC is the worst kind of officer in the military. He constantly tries to be everybody's friend to the point that he just explicitly let's his subordinates do whatever they want and slack-off, and it ultimately ends up costing lives.

Then his best friend gets attacked by the enemy and he just let's them shoot him because he's afraid to kill.

I acknowledge people like this exist, but they should be scorned for letting their men and comrades down. I have zero interest in reading the rest of this story.

The romance aspect is reasonably well executed, but it's overshadowed by the fact that I would spend the rest of the book hoping thlover. (the FMC) ditches this pathetic loser.

Beginning and end were fine

The beginning was ok. The end was great. The middle drug on. It felt like a repeat theme of some of this authors other stories but with different characters. The main characters were unnecessarily weak and the plot was predictable. It was fine, worth listening to but not my favorite of this author’s books. I liked the narrator.

WW1 Hist. Fiction/Flight Nurses

Would you listen to With Every Letter again? Why?

No, but I would definitely listen the first time.
The story line & time & location were very interesting, if you enjoy historical fiction and nursing. It seemed that the author dragged out some of the situations for too long. There are times you find yourself wanting to strangle the main character because of this.

It's a good story, though. I learned how ordinary citizens were used during the war, and how air fields were built as the Army advanced. It was interesting to see how nurses were viewed during that time, and how hard it was to convince some doctors and military men of how helpful they could be.

It was a good picture of how we can incorrectly perceive situations as a child or adult, and let that color our reactions the rest of our lives. It's a good picture of how difficult it is to obediently forgive others, but how that pays off in our life and the lives of all those around us.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The dog was fun.

What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?

She has a nice voice.

If you could rename With Every Letter, what would you call it?

Don't Ever Give Up

Any additional comments?

I'm sort of surprised an editor didn't encourage the author to condense some of the drawn-out struggles of the character, but maybe it was just me.

Love this book!

This is the second time I have read this book and the first time I have listened to it. It is truly one of the most romantic stories I have ever read, and Mellie and Tom are so dear to my heart. I love it even more the second time around and I rarely read a book twice. I give it my highest recommendation:)

Tender, Godly Love Story With Anonymous Pen Oals

Navy Air Corps Nurse Falls for Army Engineer and vice versa during WW2. The Story is centered around the pen pal theme and continues until they reveal their true identities to each other. I enjoyed the characterization of each person even if the angst of the two protagonists caused the story to drag a little. I loved the scripture and godly influence. A great read!!

Great listen

I really enjoyed this book. It was a clean, good for the sole type of book. There is several references to religion so if you're the anti-christ you probably will not like it.
The characters were all well developed.

Great booK!

What made the experience of listening to With Every Letter the most enjoyable?

Unique circumstances

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gill, because he just didn't see what was right in front of his eyes and he did his best to do the right thing!

Which scene was your favorite?

The bicycle chase

If you could take any character from With Every Letter out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Gill!
