A novel that has captivated millions of readers around the world
Tina Craig works to the bone, and sells in a charity shop on Saturdays to spend as little time as possible in her unhappy home. Searching through the pockets of an old suit someone donated to charity, he discovers a letter with a sealed, stampless, franked envelope. She opens the letter and reads it - and it changes the course of her life forever.
Billy Stirling knows he hasn't been nice, but he hopes he can still make things right. On September 4, 1939, he sits down and writes a letter that he hopes will change the future. And it will happen - but in more ways than anyone could have imagined.
It's time to open the Letter.
