The Love Letter: A thrilling novel full of secrets, lies and unforgettable twists

Product Information

There were a significant amount of people helping to plan and run the event in the book, a literary and music fair, but I feel like the minor characters could have been cut altogether or they could have been merged into one or two composite characters instead. Riley uses the climate at the time in Britain and the themes of the book, which are closely tied to the monarchy. The Love Letter is full of intricate plot twists – how did you keep hold of all these threads while you were writing? He has come to try to process his grief and make himself desirable again as a husband, a father and a business partner.

I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. Riley does an excellent job of outlining Joanna’s journey, which covers her career, friendships, love life and her key involvement in exposing the truth behind the love letter. But there is a big event in this one - just like the others - that causes the main character, Laura, to meet her object of romance, Dermott. But when the name Dermot Flynn gets thrown into the mix, she was both elated and terrified that she's been given the task to lure him out of hiding.With her experience in organizing book signings, a pulse on the book industry, and having read as much as she has, it was a no-brainer that she could help convince authors to join in the festivities.

Richlin argues – controversially – that some of these letters give evidence of a homosexual relationship between Marcus and Fronto. She is delighted to have been chosen as Chair of the Romantic Novelists' Association and says, "Catherine Jones was a wonderful chair and she's a very tough act to follow. The book doesn’t seem at all rushed, the ending is well done, and I didn’t find myself wishing it would just end already. At that time there was some media comment about the likely reaction from the British ‘establishment’, but it must always be stressed that it is an entirely fictional story and is similar to the play Charles III which is simply a ‘what-if’ scenario.

Recently her old hobbies of ironing and housework have given way to singing, Flamenco dancing and husky racing.
