A lovely story, told exclusively through letters, which captures the intensity of love during wartime and the tragedy of loss, separation, and loneliness. The story unfolds along two different timelines, taking place during both World War I and World War II, and through the characters' lives captures the experiences of ordinary people caught up in larger events. The characters are fresh and well-drawn, and I ended up caring deeply about all of them. There's a sadness and a sweetness that comes through on every page, and it was easy to see why the two main characters would be drawn together. I definitely recommend Letters From Skye, especially for those who enjoy historical fiction with a strong romantic streak.
