Description
A letter writing workshop.
Five strangers.
Countless secrets bursting in between the pages.
When French bookseller Esther loses her father, she decides to place an ad in a newspaper, inviting struggling readers to join her secret letter writing workshop.
To Esther's surprise, applications pile in by the dozens - and before long, an elderly lady, a disillusioned businessman, a disheartened couple and an awkward teenager find themselves sharing stories, seeking advice, and forging new friendships.
As Esther's students uncover the hopes, dreams and fears that were hiding behind the pen, Esther, too, finds herself thrown into a new world full of unexpected adventures.

I love a good epistolary. This is one of them, and it was an enjoyable read. The story begins with a letter-writing workshop. Through their correspondence, the participants learn about themselves and grow in unimaginable ways…thanks to the power of the simple letter.
I admired how the character arcs grew proportionately to how much growth they needed to resolve their storylines. I also enjoyed seeing the relationships between strangers grow in very realistic ways. And the wind phone reduced me to tears.
Thank you to Hodder UK and NetGalley for this ARC

This was such a cute read that I read really quick, it was such an easy read that i would love to read again in the summer. It was well written with an adorable storyline that was full of hope and heartwarming moments as well as moments that had me welling up. I really enjoyed it.
