Customer Reviews

rich descriptions and characterizations with unique plot

This novel sets itself apart from the other two in the same series in that it is of a higher quality, in my opinion. (I still liked the others, just not as much as this one.) In contrast to the other two novels, the author is so skilled at writing descriptions that I actually was transported to another time and place. In addition, I'm grateful for the unusual plot. This would be a great story line for a Hallmark Channel movie. The character development is rich and authentic, as well. I forgot I was reading a romance novel due to the lack of typical phrases used in romance novels. (e.g. "He closed the distance between them," "A smile played on her lips", etc.) The presentation of the gospel was a natural and critical part of the plot. I found it refreshing that the spiritual leader was a man. I am searching for more books by this author.

Enjoyable and romantic historical.

Letters From the Enemy is a wonderful love story with deep truths hidden in the story itself. At first I wasn't so hot about her feeling something for the local guy when her fiance was in Europe fighting the Great War, but as I got to know the fiance better I started cheering for her relationship with the same guy I originally didn't want her to be with. My emotions were pulled into this story and the "dark moment" looked so bleak it just about killed me. Their bond was intense and very romantic and the gift he gave her was...priceless! If not for the fact that I paused for over a year before finishing this book, I'd have given it five stars. Terrific story!

Very Enjoyable WWI Romance!

Letters to the Enemy is another example of why Susan May Warren is one of my favorite authors! This is a deep and thoughtful love story of a young woman during WWI. Her beau is fighting the Germans in Europe, and she writes to him faithfully as she prepares to become a pastor's wife. Then she meets Henry, a German living in her community. She struggles with her desire to befriend Henry because of his nationality as well as her engaged status, but when the community mistreats Henry, she can't stand for it! Then, she agrees to teach Henry to read. But will her kindness become a betrayal of her country and her fiancée? This is a very thoughtful and well-written novel that thoroughly entertains.
