The Lost Letter by Jillian Cantor

 

The Lost LetterThe Lost Letter by Jillian Cantor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story, which alternates between 1938 Austria and 1988 Los Angeles. As Kristoff and Elena face the struggles of Nazi control and the ever increasing danger for jews, modern day Kate is dealing with a divorce and a father who has Alzheimer's. Kate begins a search for the history behind a very intriguing stamp in her father's collection and through this one stamp she discovers much more about herself and her family than she imagined. The story moved along quickly and the author did a beautiful job of weaving authentic historical facts within both of the story lines, as well as including elements of the jewish faith that feel natural and not forced like some stories. If you like historical fiction then I strongly recommend The Lost Letter.
