Love Letters by Katie Fforde


Quiet, shy Laura Horsley wonders what she'll do next when the bookshop she works at is closed. Taken under the wing of assertive literary agent Eleanora Huckleby, Laura finds herself in charge of a brand new book festival that will be held at Eleanora's niece's house, Somerby. The festival's main sponsor insists that they book famous Irish writer, Dermot Flynn, or else he'll withdraw his money. So Laura is sent to Ireland to persuade the publicity-shy author to attend. Laura worships Dermot's writing and finds that meeting him puts her even deeper under his spell. Does he feel the same way about her? While I adore Katie Fforde's books, this one had far too simple a story for me. I look forward to the next one, though.
