Review
A warm, funny tale from the best-selling author, showing why you should never write a break-up letter (Heat )
We heart this outrageously good romance (Closer )
Reminiscent of Jilly Cooper's riotous romps, this countryside saga is an essential summer travel companion: sexy, funny and at more than 600 pages it'll last longer than a holiday romance (Daily Record )
Deliciously naughty (Sun )
Immediately loveable . . . an utter delight from start to finish . . . Add to that Fiona Walker's enviable skill of creating an engaging setting and very real band of characters and you have the recipe for a jolly fun ride (Heat )

Format:Paperback
Not since dashing to the local library to greet the publication of Frank Herbert's "Dune Messiah" back in the seventies have I been quite so excited at the publication of a new book - Fiona Walker's latest epistle, "The Love Letter". As the Title suggests, this is a work of romantic fiction - strange enthusiasm, you may say, from a male whose usual reading fare ranges from military history to mountaineering via politics! However, since the day two years ago when a large thud on the coffee table announced my Wife dumping "Lots of Love" down with the words, "You'll like this - read it!", I have been hooked on Fiona's work. I did, of course, have to fight my Wife for First read of "The Love Letter."
Three days later and at 2 o'clock in the morning, the new volume had not disappointed. Eschewing her more recent genre of the Home Counties, horses and 3-day eventing, Fiona returns, initially, to London, the scene of some of her earlier books. This time, the Heroine, Allegra "Legs" North works in the publishing industry. When her boss and sometime lover sends Allegra to the West Country and potentially into the arms of an old flame, everything kicks off. Our Heroine finds herself sharing centre stage with a renowned literary festival and the unmasking of an international sensation!
Don't expect a quick comic-book read: this book has depth, substance and a satisfying length and complexity (although, personally, I wouldn't have objected to a couple of hundred more pages!) With a nod to J. K. Rowling, characters and mysteries abound: why does Kelly make life so difficult for our Heroine? Who are Julie Ocean and the equally strange Gordon Lapis? Romping along at pace and gripping to the last page, for those who believe in the magic of love this is a must-read tale! Bring on the next one, Fiona - soon please!!.

Do not be alarmed by the title of my review for The Love Letter. It was everything I knew it would be, being an avid fan of Fiona Walker's, which is perhaps why I am now thoroughly annoyed at putting myself through the whole process again.
For me, reading a novel by Fiona Walker means succumbing to days of complete distraction and isolation from the normal world. All I every want to do is stick my nose back into it and not stop reading until I'm in serious danger of dehydration.
However then, as is always the way, I end up hurtling closer and closer to the end, one part of my brain screaming at my eyes to close and my hands to hurl the book far, far away, the other part of my brain peeling back my eyes to read more lines of literary genius.
All a bit much for a review you say? Then you obviously haven't truly immersed yourself in her world. The moment I picked up a Fiona Walker book, was the moment I knew all other authors would always be compared against this one writer. The Love Letter, like her whole series of novels is full of twists and turns, some obvious (or perhaps I've become too used to her way of writing) some completely unexpected, a smattering of naughtiness and several passages of literal laugh out loud material (reading this book on the ten minute bus ride to work every day has earned me a few too many concerned glances in recent days...)
Fiona, in case you are reading this, I will stop soon. I would hate for your head to become so enlarged you can no longer lift it off your writing desk to produce more books. I am just too selfish for that! But I will say, well done. Once again you have made the wait between books utterly worth it, especially appreciating the (small) appearance of a past character from another one of your works. Having finished The Love Letter I feel at a complete loose end. There's only one thing for it, it's time to re-read French Relations!
For first time readers of Fiona Walker, I urge you to read this book. For fans of Fiona Walker, I'm guessing this review is very much like the one inside your own heads!

I really enjoyed this book and burnt the midnight oil getting to the end of it. I loved 'Legs' as a character and was totally enthralled with her crazy antics. Fiona Walker manages to create worlds and families that are so far removed from my own that it is true escapism. I think that several of her books would be great mini-series or films. I don't want to give away any spoilers but there are so many twists and turns in this book that you will have trouble keeping up with the action at times. My favourite scene is in the pub when legs reveals all of her woes to a stranger. Brilliant - was totally hooked! More of the same please Fiona!

It all hinges on a letter...or does it??
There are plenty of mysteries in this book but the greatest of all is where the letter of the title fits into the story. Read more
