The Letter – Kitty’s Story
Thirty-four-year-old Kitty Bennett is trapped
in a loveless marriage to criminal barrister, Dan, who’s gradually isolated her
from her family and friends. Until the day she (literally) bumps into her first
love, the handsome and easy-going Ollie Cartwright – someone she’s done her
best to avoid for as long as she can remember. Looking into Ollie’s eyes
awakens feelings for him she thought she’d buried deep years ago, and he
clearly feels the spark, too. As she walks away, Kitty can’t help but wonder
what might have been…
Dan senses that his marriage is on shaky ground
and knows he needs to win his wife round. He turns on the charm, skilfully
using their two children, Lucas and Lily, as bargaining tools. But Kitty’s
older brother, Jimby, and her childhood best-friends, Molly and Violet, have
decided enough is enough. For years they’ve had to watch from afar as Kitty’s
been browbeaten into an unrecognisable version of herself. They vow to make her
see Dan for what he really is, but their attempts are no match for his
finely-honed courtroom skills and, against her better judgement, Kitty agrees
to give her husband one last chance. But, all-too-soon, a series of
heart-breaking events and a shocking secret throw her life into turmoil…
Will she stand by Dan, or will Kitty be brave
enough to take the leap and follow her heart to Ollie?
Life is anything but peaceful in the
chocolate-box pretty village of Lytell Stangdale, where life unravels, and
hearts are broken. Full of heart-warming moments, this book with have you
crying
tears of joy, laughter and sadness.
My Review
It was a pleasant reading, full of emotions that warm the heart. I was attracted by the really adorable cover, it seemed a lighter story but I was not disappointed.
Kitty lives in a cage, her marriage. Her husband Dan is a criminal lawyer, selfish, cowardly, he betrays her, diminishes her and prevents her from living. Her only joy is her adorable children. She also has the support of her family and her friends, fortunately. Perhaps an old love gives her the hope of being happy again.
Kitty is a very strong woman, sweet, kind, polite, she keeps you glued to the pages cheering for her because she manages to free herself from her husband's poison. Dan is really terrible, he doesn't have the least respect for Kitty, he treats her like an object. This is also set in a small town where gossip is the main activity.
It is a very realistic story in which unfortunately many women can be recognized. Very engaging and exciting, there is love, sweetness, joy, sadness, pain, violence.
Highly recommended

Bio – I
live in a village in the North Yorkshire Moors with my husband, two daughters
and two black Labradors. When I’m not writing, I can usually be found with my
nose in a book/glued to my Kindle, or in my garden. I also enjoy bracing walks
in the countryside, rounded off with a visit to a teashop where I can indulge
in another two of my favourite things: tea and cake.
