Una cautivadora novela para románticos que evoca una década llena de encanto y elegancia, por la autora de Yo antes de ti. En 1960, Jennifer se despierta en un hospital de Londres. No recuerda nada. Ni el accidente de coche que la ha llevado allí, ni a su marido, ni su propio nombre. Hasta que regresa a casa y por azar encuentra una carta escondida. Así comienza a recordar al amante por el que estaba dispuesta a arriesgarlo todo. En 2003, Ellie busca entre los archivos del periódico para el que trabaja inspiración para una nueva historia. Pero lo que descubre es una carta escrita cuarenta años antes en la que un hombre le pide a su amante que abandone a su marido. Ellie no puede evitar sentirse atrapada por la intriga de este romance del pasado, a pesar o quizá a causa de que ella misma está viviendo una aventura con un hombre casado. Está decidida a conocer la suerte que corrió esta historia de amor, secretamente confiando en que inspire su propio final feliz. Porque el poder de unas palabras puede acabar con un romance... o reavivar un amor perdido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A heartbreaking, stay-up-all-night novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You, After You, and Still Me. A Brief Encounter for our time, The Last Letter from Your Lover is a sophisticated, spellbinding double love story that spans decades and thrillingly evokes a bygone era. In 1960, Jennifer Stirling wakes in the hospital and remembers nothing—not the car accident that put her there, not her wealthy husband, not even her own name. Searching for clues, she finds an impassioned letter, signed simply "B," from a man for whom she seemed willing to risk everything. In 2003, journalist Ellie Haworth stumbles upon the letter and becomes obsessed with learning the unknown lovers’ fate—hoping it will inspire her own happy ending. Remarkably moving, this is a novel for romantics of every age.

Foreign Fruit
Same author's mid-century English setting with class-crossing forbidden love and second chances, but gentler, less illicit and with almost no heat.
The Girl You Left Behind
Same author's dual-timeline structure with a forbidden wartime love uncovered decades later; darker, with war trauma and assault instead of adultery.
A Curse for True Love
A heroine with erased memories must recover a forbidden love she risked everything for; fantasy setting, far lower heat, higher stakes.
The Elite (The Selection #2)
Another forbidden love pulled between two men with a heart torn by memory and duty, though this is chaste YA set in a dystopian palace.
The Selection Stories
Shares the forbidden-love triangle ache told from alternating viewpoints, but it's short YA companion fiction rather than a decades-spanning adult story.
Eleanor & Park
Also a period-set love story shadowed by domestic abuse and an uncertain ending, though it's teenage first love in 1986 instead of adult affairs.
