Yours from the Tower

The epics of Victorian teenage dramas? Yes please. What a great idea for a book.

Conversing solely through letters, the three friends Tirzah, Polly and Sophia keep each other informed on the goings on and ins and outs of their lives as they try to find their ways in the world. With Tirzah forced into a companionship role to her grandmother, Polly working in an orphanage and Sophia turned out for the season in hope of finding a husband, these three woman are more than confidants to one another. The friendship is so heartwarming and the whole book was just a joy to read!

I found is so easy and entertaining. It was always a delight to go back to it and found the pages disappear into nothing. And can I just say, Sebastian’s letters *swoon*.

I loved getting to know the girls through their exchanges and see moments in their lives tick along as we share Christmases, romances and big life events with them. I honestly could have continued reading forever and it’s a format of a book I never thought I’d enjoy so much! If there was a sequel or more books of its kind from now, I’d snap them up in a second, without hesitation!

I was left feeling so fuzzy and happy and it was a pure joy from the very first letter!
