Publisher's Summary

Major motion picture premiering on Netflix on July 23, starring Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, and Callum Turner.

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Giver of Stars, a sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years, and an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times.

It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband.

Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives. She becomes obsessed by the story and hopeful that it can resurrect her faltering career. Perhaps if these lovers had a happy ending she will find one to her own complicated love life, too. Ellie's search will rewrite history and help her see the truth about her own modern romance.

A spellbinding, intoxicating love story with a knockout ending, The Last Letter from Your Lover will appeal to the listeners who have made One Day and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society best sellers.

What the critics say

"With its realistically complicated characters and emotionally complex plot, The Last Letter from Your Lover is hopelessly and hopefully romantic." (Chicago Tribune)

"Crafting a love story that feels not just compelling but true is a very difficult thing indeed - and yet, with The Last Letter from Your Lover, Jojo Moyes has done it twice. I found myself utterly transfixed by both sets of lovers in this marvelous novel. Moyes is a tremendously gifted storyteller, and I'm all admiration." (Paula McLain, New York Times best-selling author of The Paris Wife)

"A fabulous, emotional, and evocative book - perfect for anyone who loves Mad Men." (Sophie Kinsella, best-selling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic)

Fantastic book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns with a wonderful main love story and another minor love story. It also has some history mixed in.

It is very entertaining and I couldn’t stop listening to it the last few hours needing to know how it turned out. It goes back and forth in time but I got used to that. I highly recommend this book!

Disappointed

I found this story to have too much back and forth. Other books from Jojo Mayes seem to fly by for me but this one felt like a chore. It just wasn't for me.

What a pleasure to listen to this story

I enjoy dual time period timelines. Showing the changes between decades but the similarities in personalities. I also enjoy a different perspective on true love. Great story and performance.

It was...

Different than previous books, hard to follow characters at times but in the end a decent book. Loved all other Jojo Moyes books

Heartwarming

I enjoyed this book so much, it had me laughing, crying, feeling a gambit of emotions. The narrator was perfect! Her voice was soft and perfect for the many characters she put voice to. I whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone that is wanting a great storyline with several plot twists!
