What this book is about
In 1960, Jennifer Stirling wakes up in a hospital with no memory of her accident, her life, or the letters that hint she was in love with someone she can't remember. In 2003, journalist Ellie Haworth finds Jennifer's letters in the newspaper archives and becomes obsessed with tracing what happened. The Last Letter from Your Lover alternates between the two timelines—a love story about what survives.
