That Part Was True–Deborah McKinley

 

Reminiscent of ONE DAY meets 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD, THAT PART WAS TRUE is a bittersweet story about falling in love and risking it all.

When Eve Petworth writes to Jackson Cooper to praise a scene in one of his books, they discover a mutual love of cookery and food. As their letters criss-cross the ocean that lies between them, friendship and then romance blossom despite Jackson's colourful love life and Eve's tense relationship with her soon-to-be-married daughter. Little by little, Eve and Jack begin to believe that they may have a chance to change their lives and possibly get a second chance at happiness. They just need to actually meet...

 I won a copy of this book in a giveaway from Cherry Picks ( www.orionbooks.co.uk/cherrypicks) It is one of a few books that I've read in a single sitting (in part due to the book being so good and me having cold induced insomnia). It is a lovely story about a relationship between an author in America and a divorced 40 something in England. They only correspond by postcards and later on through e-mail. A very simple story, beautifully written. Although throughout the book they make plans to meet each other and you are left guessing right to the end as to whether this will happen. A great book to while away a few hours.
