With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin.
I choose this book to read because of the cover. I know, I know, “Don’t judge a book by the cover”. But I did. I’ve never read a book by Sarah Sundin before and wanted to give With Every Letter a try.
With Every Letter is about a young woman, Lt. Mellie Blake, a flight nurse in WWII who is very shy and interverted. She loves what she does, loves helping the wounded, loves to sing, but just can’t make frineds, let alone a romantic relationship. Mellie is forced to join am announamous letter exchange with the men stationed over in North Africa. How can she friend someone on paper when she can’t make friends in person.
The letter Mellie writes is intended to go to someone else, but ends up in the hands of Lt. Tom MacGilliver. Tom is just the oppostite. He has lots of friends, is always smiling, but deep inside he is sad, hurt and angry.
Tom and Mellie may be falling in love even though they do not know each other’s identity.
I found With Every Letter to be a good read. I do not like war or history type books, so I did skim over some of those details. But this story is more than that. I like the idea of an annoyous letter exchange. In the story it boosts the moral and adds abit of mystery. I would recommend this book to any book lover!

I love the premise of an anonymous letter exchange. I’m not into war book either but it sounds unique.
Sounds like a touching read for a rainy day.

Thank you for the honest about skimming (I find myself doing the same if it just doesn’t hold my interest).
I tend to love any book with a military theme, so I’d probably like this!
