Summary
On the eve of a world war, a forbidden love will blossom in the garden of a stately home, where one young woman will make a choice that will change her life forever…
As the storm clouds of war gather, Cordelia seeks refuge in the grounds of her family estate.
Handsome landscaper Isaac has recently arrived to tend to the gardens, and the connection between him and Cordelia is as immediate as it is forbidden.
Isaac begins to secretly teach her how to cultivate the gardens, so when he and all the young men are called away to war, Cordelia takes over.
From the battlefields of Europe, Isaac sends her letters, that give her hope for their future in peacetime.
But when these messages abruptly cease, Cordelia must face up to the worst and take her future – and the fate of the garden they both loved – into her own hands…
An epic, sweeping tale of love, war and the strength of the human spirit. Fans of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton will be absolutely gripped by this historical listen.
Critic reviews
"A beautiful emotional story of love and strength." (Liz Fenwick, author of The River Between Us)
"With shades of Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, and her trademark combination of unputdownable plot and beautiful writing, Lorna Cook has had me utterly captivated with her latest. The Hidden Letters has it all – heartbreak and redemption, intense love and desperate loss. It's the type of book that first made me fall in love with reading, I adored every sumptuous, atmospheric page, and can't recommend it highly enough." (Jenny Ashcroft, author of Under the Golden Sun)
"Magnificent. Broke my heart and put it back together again." (Amanda Geard, author of The Midnight House)

An insight into a different time and war
Another incredible story by this author, carefully and delicately interwoven with different values, expectations and experiences of the first world war era. Magical, empathetic, heartbreaking and heartwarming throughout. Just wonderful ☺️

Another very good audiobook!
I stumbled by chance, on the books written by Lorna Cook.
Her latest book did not disappoint.
Loved the story with it’s wee twists & turns.
Fantastic 😊

Sadly, disappointing
I am so sad to be leaving this review as I normally love Lorna’s books.
I stuck with it until Chapter 25 and then I gave up. There is far too much conversation, he said, she said, and it’s too like a lovey, dovey Mills & Boon book. Unfortunately the lady reading it made it sound like a child was reading it. I tried speeding it up but that did not work.
I skipped to the end to find out a little about how it ended but I found that I did not really care very much. Very disappointed.
So sorry 😔
