Fans of inspirational romance are in for a treat with Politano’s sweeping tale of love lost and love found. In early 1800’s England, Willa Duvall mourns the loss of her mother as she studies medicine alongside her famous physician father [location 221/ 5566 ff]. Determined to become a doctor herself despite being female, she agrees to tend a patient of her own for a month’s time with an outcome of measurable improvement. If this goal is not achieved, she must return home to wed to a man of her father’s choosing [location 266/ 5566]. After finding an old unsigned love letter wedged between the cracks of an antique desk gifted to the family by a grateful former patient at Crestwicke Manor [location 166/ 5566], Willa answers an advertisement from another of the Crestwicke residents [location 296/ 5566]. Willa accepts the nursing position in hopes of reuniting the letter’s writer with its intended recipient [location 266/ 5566]. She works to discover the identities of both as she cares for her new patient Golda, the lady of the house, and gets reacquainted with her childhood friend Gabe, one of the Gresham brothers [location 452/ 5566 ff]. However, the letter keeps getting misplaced only to be found by various members of the household, who each believe the passionate sentiments are meant secretly for them [location 713/ 5566 ff]. The effects of the letter have far-reaching consequences, as Willa soon finds out as her own love story unfolds and relationships are forever altered [location 1020/ 5566 ff]. Politano’s prose glitters with a masterful command of language, and readers will be entranced with mysteries that seem to multiply even as secrets are uncovered. This novel is itself a love letter to readers reminding them of the gift of God’s love for his children. An instant classic, not to be missed.
