Seriously when it comes to romance in my eyes Ms Cooke can do no wrong and this is another smashing read! This time Cath, a single mum is leading the way in this story, the son has gone to university and she is knocking about on her own in the house. Discovering some letters she has a chance to go on an adventure of her own and it gives her the opportunity to do something for herself and discover new sights and new sights.
It was nice to take in the culture and the history with WWI, when I was at school I took a trip to Belgium and we saw the huge mine crater that had been made, visited the graveyards and trenches and experience the most amazing thing, The Last Post at Menin Gate. All just truly breathtaking and emotional at the same time and reiterating what everyone had to suffer, albeit at the time of visiting I did not realise I too would be married to a soldier in the future.
So back to the story, I found that I could relate to Cath, and that is one thing I have to take my hat off to Ms Cooke, is every book I have read and every character she has made real, they are all authentic and they are all relatable. I can not fault her, she is one author if I know there is a book floating about I have to read it.
Not only are the characters authentic, I feel like the romance is too. It is the believable kind as if you were given an insight into her diary or something, and I am sure I have said that before Not only with the romance, the characters, you are given some history to boot, this book has everything and oodles of it!
I am left with all the warm and fuzzy feels with this book and I can not wait to jump into another adventure with Ms Cooke and her world.
