I loved that this was for the most part a collection of letters between two people during WWII. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this type of book.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

WOW! Just... WOW! Bryant delivered an amazing look into the real lives of America's Greatest Generation. It was funny and sad and so very touching. Her handling of the letters was compassionate and obviously a work of love.

This work of fiction so well interlaced with real letters from WWII soldiers it quickly makes one forget it is a fictional story. The characters and the people in the letters come to life. The opening makes one feel connected, as if there, walking the rooms one by one for what may be the last time. Seeing the history, the love, the family that had truly lived there. As the letters unfold, they wrap themselves around the readers heart. Beautiful story, beautifully told.

Thank you Ms. Bryant.

Letters From the War by Amanda Bryant is a beautifully written novel of a young girl whose life is changed when she finds a box full of letters that her grandmother has hidden. The letters reveal a secret family history...but was it better left hidden?

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this enjoyable novel.

Really emotional story, which was heartwarming and kept me turning the pages. Really recommend to others.

I received a free electronic copy of this historical novel from Netgalley, Amanda Bryant, and BooksGoSocial. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read Letters From the War of my own volition and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work.

Amanda Bryant brings us an intimate look into the hearts and minds of those tasked with fighting a war and missing those loved ones at home. This is done for the most part through letters from sailor Frank Jones patrolling in the Atlantic and his lady love, Miss LaDonna Singleton of Boise, Idaho. We see through his eyes the cost of war, and the exhaustion and boredom on those tours where nothing happens, the pain and angst when something does happen, and the joy that connections from the homeland bring. I very much enjoyed this work. Though short, it was representative of the sacrifices made by the folk of all sorts when politics break down and mediation becomes open warfare.
