Letters From Home

Helpful Score: 1


I really enjoyed reading this novel. It is a story of love, friendship and the choices we make in life. This novel is set during WWII, and follows the lives of three female college-age roommates as they make choices that will effect the rest of their lives. Liz meets a solder at a USO dance who is about to go off to war. She finds herself interested in him, but is dating someone else, so she doesn't persue anything, especially when she sees him dancing with her roommate, Betty. After the dance, the solder writes to Betty from overseas. Because Betty doesn't believe she writes very well, she asks Liz to reply for her. You can just imagine where this is going to lead. This novel definitely kept me turning the pages.
