My Review
The Love Note was a different type of book. Willa Duvall wants a career in medicine like her father but he believes it's his duty to see her married off.
At her home hidden away in a desk she finds a love note and this note starts the whole ball of yarn rolling setting up the story essentially. She makes a deal with her father and if she succeeds at being a long term nurse she'll be able to practice medicine.
After she goes to Crestwicke Manor she nurses the dowager there. She brings the love note with her and a maid finds it and thinks it
was written to her.
Willa is determined to find who the writer of this note was
and who it was intended for. The Love Note takes us on many twists and turns as the note falls into the hands of many people in the Manor each believing it was written to her.
This note is very powerful for the emotions it sparks in
the ladies believing it was written to them. The Love Note is a powerful read and will bring out many
emotions in you as you're reading.
As Willa takes care of the dowanger we find out the
true story of
the love note and the history behind it.
Beautifully flowing prose will keep you reading far into
the night not being able to put it down. Published October 20th 2020 by Fleming H. Revell Company This book was provided by Baker Publishing Group, Revell Division, through Interviews & Reviews.
GoodReads Summary
Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor. Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words. Laced with mysteries large and small, this romantic Victorian-era tale of love lost, love deferred, and love found is sure to delight.
