Absolutely heartbreaking World War 2 love story

The Letter is one of those books that stays with you long after you finish reading it. From the moment you become submerged in the lives of Tina and Billy it is hard to leave. 

Tina is caught up in an abusive relationship with a man she loves with all her heart, so much so that she continues to forgive him and give him second chances. When things get really bad, Tina finds escape after finding a letter in the pocket of a suit and going in search for the person who wrote it. This interlocks the story of Tina and Billy, as Tina uncovers the heartbreaking story that tore Billy away from the love of his life. 

The Letter is really beautifully written. Kathryn Hughes has created really strong characters who you feel you really get to know through their stories. You feel like you're really there with them, living their lives with them.

This story is laced with a lot of pain and heartache and there are moments where my heart was completely wrenched. I'll warn you that if you're the type to cry at an emotional story, this one will definitely have you reaching for the tissues!
