Focused on a career in
medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course
during the summer of 1859 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. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
The cover of this book is stunning and after reading Joanna Politano's previous novels I knew I needed to read this one. I completely fell in love with this story and the characters. This is Politano's best yet and I couldn't set it down. I love the mystery and setting and probably my favorite character is Aunt Maisie as she added a lot to the story. The romance is very well written and I also appreciate the strong willed women who believe they are capable of bigger things. The ending takes you on an extra adventure you won't expect and while slightly rushed (I didn't really want it to end) it wrapped things up nicely.
If you are searching for a new adventure look no further. Five stars!
