He Wrote Her Every Day

He Wrote Her Every Day by Gail Lindbergh. A beautiful story written about a collection of letters of a solider at war in 1940’s. If you love historical fiction you will love “he Wrote Her Every Day.

A lovely book of love bravery beneath the darkness of ww11 .Jim a young soldier promises to write his beloved bride everyday as he fought in the war.A raw look at war an intimate look at their lives his hopes and dreams for them. This reads like the best historical fiction but even better it’s true.Highly recommend.#netgalley#saperebooks,

This memoir was so much better than a love story, as it was told via a soldier's letters home to his love that he promised to write to everyday he was away. The letters not only captured the love that he had for the woman he was writing to, but they gave insight into what daily life was like for a soldier during World War II.

For me, this was so much more than a simple love story. Firstly we do see the pure love and devotion of one man to his wife, you can feel the adoration he has for her in the notes he wrote, you get the sense of her being his beacon of light in times that we know would have been hellish.

There is more though, a first hand glimpse into the lives these soldiers had to lead on a daily basis albeit from the perspective of finding 'lighter' things to write home to his wife about and not detailing the absolute horror he must have been encountering.
As I read through the letters and retelling of his story, I really was captivated by the unique descriptions of being in the army, his training and time spent travelling but also the camaraderie between soldiers that gave me a smile and is true testament to the strength of character Jim and his fellow officers had.

This is a well written and cleverly put together memoir that lets us experience the war from a different perspective whilst giving us a beautiful story of love, separation and heroism.

Beautifully written. Through her love and respect for the people who were this story, author Gail Lindenberg brought them to life within its pages. Read like a historical fiction novel but was dearer to this readers heart because it was real life.

One of the most interesting books about WWII that I have read in sometime.
Jim & his bride were married about a yr.when he thought it was his duty to enlist and go look for his brother,who had been shot down and captured by the Germans.
He left her alone and promised to write her everyday,he was gone.
He didn't quite accomplish this,but it wasn't for lack of trying.
Sometimes,he was in battle and oftentimes,the mail.dispatcher didn't make it thru.
While,away his wife lived awhile with his folks and gave birth to twins.
She moved to her own place,as soon as she could and waited for Jim's letters,no matter that he couldn't tel! her everything.

After the War ended,the Army took forever to send him home,due to dock strikes and much red tape
But make it home,he did much to his family's de!ight and his brother who had been a prisoner of War,actually beat him home.
Most of the story,is an actual account,as it's their daughter,who wrote this book.
He and his wife went on to have a normal life and had a few more children.
All of the letters he wrote and the souvenirs he sent home are now on display for the public to see.
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review. "He Wrote Her Everyday"written by Gail Lindenberg.

Eine tief berührende Geschichte, die sich anhand von alten Briefen langsam entwickelt. Sehr schön, ergreifend und gefühlvoll.
