The Valentine Writer by Iris Lim. ★★★★☆
Mary Danforth has resigned herself to spinsterhood. Since childhood, her health has been too fragile to allow her to join in the active lives of her many siblings.
Mary excels at writing sweet, romantic notes to assist her brothers' courtships. She is happy for her siblings, but their success is bittersweet.
Doctors have advised Mary to be extremely cautious with her health as another illness may be fatal. While caution is keeping her alive, she wonders if it is worth missing out on so much.
The introduction of Captain Hayes, allows Mary to dream of love and a future, but can dreams become reality.
Mary is a well drawn and believable character. You yearn with her as she is left behind as her siblings find love.
An enjoyable novella.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
