The Love Note

The Love Note

A Victorian-era Tale of Love Lost, Deferred, and Found

Can we talk for a minute about beautiful writing? I mean the kind that makes you drop to your knees and weep because the words have crawled into your heart and made you part of the story. Yeah. That kind. That’s exactly what you’ll find in a Joanna Davidson Politano novel, and The Love Note is no exception. You need this book. Read that again. You need this book. It’s just that awesome. Here’s a blurb:

Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 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.
