I've read so much this summer, which is hard to believe with how busy I've been but I've been busy enough not to keep my reviews updated. Here is a short one for the last book I read, Letters from Skye.
Letters from Skye was a fabulous, quick read that was written much similar to the Guernsey Potato Peel Society since it was all in letters. I wasn't sure if I would like this style but I loved it in both books. Its different and there are so few books written that way. Plus I love letters!
I found Letters from Skye in Book Page I believe. The article, however, does not really give the book justice. When I finished the book, it was definitely not what I had expected or that was portrayed in the review. I will explain this a bit further on though.
The book is all letters between either David and Elspeth (Sue) or Elspeth and Margaret. There are a few others intermixed as well. David is a fan of Elspeth, who writes poetry before and during WWI. Elspeth lives on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Margaret is her daughter.
The book goes back and worth between the letters of David and Elsepth during WWI and the letters of Margaret and Elspeth during WWII. The first set of letters start as fan letters and progress to love letters. Both wars bring an unexpected turn of events for all characters.
This is when I start to understand why the review is vague while I'm writing my own. It is impossible to tell more of the story without giving anything away. So, stop by the library and check it out. Letters from Skye will keep you turning the pages just to find out what happens next.
