Most of us, at some time or another, have written or received a love letter.Lost love letters are the central theme for this book. Written by a selection of gifted female Indie authors ranging from Barbara Silkstone to Gerry McCullough this selection of letters will make you laugh as well as cry. They are not of a purely romantic nature though. There are letters to ex lovers, idols, crushes, deceased love ones, children and pets. All are written from the heart with beautiful evocative description and all are filled with emotion.I do admit I had trouble relating to the letters from mothers to children since I chose not to have kids so can’t appreciate the sentiment, but from life experience I related far better to letters written to dead friends, lovers and relatives. I couldn’t, in all fairness, pick a favourite because they were all special in their own way. The only one I had real trouble with is the one to Jane Austen as I make no secret of the fact I just can’t relate to her characters. Had I contributed to this anthology my letter would probably have been to Agatha Christie.I highly recommend this book to all who like something a little different.
