Publisher's Synopsis

***Pre-order Jan Cacey's latest historical novel, The War Artist, now!*** She read their secrets during the war. Now she cannot forget them... 1941. London. Keen to do her bit in the war, Connie Allinson joins the WRNS and is posted as a letter censor. Her task: to read and alter correspondence to ensure no sensitive information crosses enemy lines. At first, she is not sure she's up to it, but is soon drawn in by the letters she reads, and their secrets... 1967. Doncaster. Bored of her domestic life, Connie desperately wants a job, but her controlling husband Arthur won't hear of it. Looking for an escape, and plagued by memories of letters she read during the war, she makes a bid for freedom and starts secretly tracking down their authors. Will uncovering their past give Connie the key to her present? And will she be able to find them all before Arthur discovers what she is keeping from him? A page-turning and evocative historical timeslip, for fans of Mandy Robothom and Melanie Hudson. *** Readers love The Letter Reader: 'I absolutely loved this book.' Amazon reviewer, 5* 'Wow, what a read! Read in one day, was desperate to see how it went for Connie. I recommend this, you won't be disappointed.' Amazon reviewer, 5* 'I really loved this book...'
