Publisher Description

 Soon to be a major motion picture streaming on Netflix, starring Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, and Callum Turner From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, a sophisticated, page-turning double love story spanning forty years

It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband.  Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives. She becomes obsessed by the story and hopeful that it can resurrect her faltering career. Perhaps if these lovers had a happy ending she will find one to her own complicated love life, too. Ellie's search will rewrite history and help her see the truth about her own modern romance.  A spellbinding, intoxicating love story with a knockout ending, The Last Letter from Your Lover will appeal to the readers who have made One Day and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society bestsellers.

"Another cracker from Jojo Moyes set in current times and in the 1960s following a lady who met the love of her life after realising her husband doesn't care for her. The letters her lover writes to her are the star of this story as Ellie, a journalist in current times uses them to write an article and to try to find out what happened to the two back in the 60s. A lovely story."

— Sarah (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “A prize-winning, cross-generational love story of missed connections and delayed gratification…A nicely judged sense of period and the author’s full-blooded commitment lend heartfelt emotion.”

    " I am not a romance reader of any kind, yet loved this book. I can understand how we are all human. How things are simple yet complex. Affairs of today versus affairs of the past. I enjoyed how the author captures life in the 60's and life in 2003. This book is a must read! "

    " This was a beautifully written story that depicted the constraints of women in the 1960's as well as the beauty of the written word and how that has fallen away in today's world and yet in both Era's the same miscommunication occurred. Highly recommend! "

    " Mixed feelings on this one. It kept me interested but I didn't feel a lot of chemistry between the main characters (forgetting their names since I finished the book awhile ago!) and all of their near misses became a bit annoying. But it was still enjoyable and I'd recommend it. "
