Book Description: Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor.
Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words.
My Thoughts: A new author for me, Joanna Politano takes the reader on a trip into the late 1800's where women in medicine are a new item and where lost loves become a mystery to be solved.
The seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor sounds like a place where convalescence is a place of rest and recovery but as Willa Duvall finds out there is more to the Manor than meets the eye.
One thing about Willa she is a fighter and she is focused on her career in medicine.
One day as she sits at her old writing desk st the Manor she notices a never-opened envelope with the most delicious love note in it.
She sets out to find the person to whom the letter is addressed and in doing so she comes across a mystery. The more she seeks to find out about the author oof the letter the more she finds that people do not seems to like him. This puzzles her as the letter is most passionate.
This is such an interesting story.
I also loved how Joanna Politano pens words so artfully that they almost roll off the page.
