The Letters, a captivating tale of love, war, and generational healing that begs the question: If you could go back in time, what would you change?
When rebellious Ruby is bequeathed her late grandfather’s personal letters, she is pulled from peacetime 1973 Australia, to 1917 World War 1 France. Without identification or any way home, she sets out to right a wrong that has broken her family for generations.
She meets her young grandfather, an Australian soldier, who has a secret family – a French wife and daughter. Ruby is the only person who knows the true danger they are in, and sets out to rewrite her family’s past.
A local resistance fighter Henri, with secrets of his own, is the only person who can help her. And as they navigate a dangerous terrain, Ruby is torn between the love of this mysterious hero, and the life she left behind.

The Letters is a very intriguing and gripping story. Written in such an interesting way.
I loved it.
The ending was not what I expected, as it is just the beginning of another adventure that is yet to be written. 🌻🍒⚘️

This book is an intriguing mix of history and fantasy. Time travel mixes with actual events which took place in France in the first World War. It is a fascinating study of the decisions we might make if we could go back in time and have the chance to change history.
