This is a book I should have read several years ago, but it slipped through the cracks.

Rose Pepper is an amazing woman. She's what we would call "A Force to be Reckoned With" in current times. She has lived through more than most of us and survived. The story begins in the current time, but her story actually begins when she was young and married a man she didn't love while WWII was being fought. She moves forward and into the arms of another man, who is the love of her life. But fate takes a hand.

This is a powerful story of love and hate, happiness and misery. It's not a book to be missed!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A heartbreaking story that I really enjoyed reading. An easy read perfect for curling up on the couch with a cup of tea,

Brilliant book to read when you just want to relax and pass the day by for a few hours i loved it theres nothing more exciting than finding lld forgotten letters this is a must read.

I liked this book. It was sent to me by the publisher for review. It's a heart-warming tale of one woman's past, that in the end becomes known to her daughters. Enjoyable read for a rainy day.

While I enjoyed the book, I must admit to skimming some sections as it went on too long in places, it needed to be condensed to make it more appealing.

I would like to thank NetGalley for the wonderful novel The Secret Letters by Catherine Law. I really enjoyed reading this heartfelt story of an older woman with her adult daughters, reflecting and revisiting her life: as a young woman in England during WWII, her love for a Czechoslovakian soldier, and her complicated relationship with an abusive British fiance. This story takes her though farming for the war efforts, the unfortunate fate of her parents, as well as to Communist Prague, with many hard choices and obstacles along the way. Beautifully told!

Lovely and romantic. A read about true love and how much it can hurt!

Very atmospheric romance between Rose and Krystof- and you'll learn a little about post war Prague. This is a tale of lost love refound with an ending that might not be as satisfying as one wants but which is realistic. This is well written and highly readable= thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. I'd not read Law before but am going to look for her again. An almost old fashioned read good for a relaxing afternoon.
