Why read it?
1 author picked The Christmas Love Letters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love reading about characters and relationships, and Sue is a master at writing about relatable characters that have depth and a back story.
The story is centred around a bunch of long-lost love letters that Raff brings to Maddy’s Great Aunt Ruthie, who has poor eyesight. As Maddy reads the letters to her bit by bit, Maddy discovers a big secret. Maddy has her own heartbreak, a husband who disappeared years ago when she was pregnant leaving her to bring up their daughter alone.
It’s a heartwarming story with lots of love and laughter that I really connected to.
From Karen's list on The best books to make you forget what you’re doing and read all day instead.
