Reviewing Wherever You May Be by Matthew Tessnear
The WWII letters of a Soldier and his Sweetheart
What a lovely read! I enjoyed this very public view of a great love. With awe, respect, and admiration, author Matthew Tessnear has edited a family treasure of wartime love. These are not famous people, they are salt of the earth, everyday folks, whose love grew through simple letters that held their world together as war widened the gap between them.
How endearing to see the sweet sentiments shared and the value of writing every day they could. The war effort had Lois working long hours. The army had Harry all over the place. The letters also bridged family members, generations, and friendships as any gathering or local news was shared.
If you have such a family treasure, protect it, through the letters we can see the people who were once vague memories or just a name and a set of dates.
