Inspired by the life of the world's first woman war correspondent, Australia's Louise Mack, the most sweeping love story yet by Pamela Hart

1917, Italy. Australian journalist Rebecca Quinn is an unconventional woman. At the height of World War I, she has given up the safety of her Sydney home for the bloody battlefields of Europe, following her journalist husband to the frontline as a war correspondent in Italy.

Reporting the horrors of the Italian campaign, Rebecca finds herself thrown together with American-born Italian photographer Alessandro Panucci, and soon discovers another battleground every bit as dangerous and unpredictable: the human heart.

A passionate and poignant love story set on the beautiful Italian coast by the bestselling author of THE SOLDIER'S WIFE and THE WAR BRIDE.

War is a terrible part of the worlds history but it’s a story that needed to be told.

Reviewed in Australia on 18 May 2017

A beautiful heartbreaking story about the heroes of the war, the men and women who supported behind the scenes and the brave who reported it.
During a time when women’s rights were still a foreign concept in Italy Rebecca Quinn faced it all and all without her husband (who left her with little to no notice to go off chasing a story). I felt for her and cringed while she faced judgement from the men who still believed that women should just go tend their houses, my heart cried out for Sandro who I loved right until the final pages, my anger at Jack for leaving Rebecca to become so incredibly independent in a world that rejected such independence didn’t sit well with me and his betrayal of her trust was just the last straw. Rebecca showed that despite the fear and rejection she faced that she could still hold it together when it counted and could be courageous in the face of dangers that most women today wouldn’t imagine leaving themselves in a position to experience.
An incredibly inspiring character and a story that melted my heart and gave me a new opinion of war themed books.

Many thanks to Hachette Publishers for the opportunity to read this Advanced Review Copy.

A beautiful way to pop my Pamela Hart cherry

Reviewed in Australia on 14 March 2017

A Letter From Italy was the perfect way for me to pop my Pamela Hart cherry!

This book was inspired by the first female war correspondent, and what a story it is.

It is a sweeping, beautiful, emotional story that does wonderful justice for a part of history that for the most part has been swept under the carpet (I am not ashamed to admit that I did not know of Louise Mack and what she did).

Rebecca's story is one that I am sure could be told hundreds of times over - the loving and supportive wife following the husband wherever he goes, keeping quiet and doing as he expects.

Instead she is vocal on her career, her marriage, her expectations in life - and I loved her for it. This story shows how far we have come in the past century, but also highlights how far we still need to go.

The story is intriguing, enlightening, action packed and full of passion.

I really think that A Letter From Italy would make a wonderful movie or mini series - someone needs to get onto that pronto!

Now I am going to go back and read Ms Hart's other works, and look forward to what she brings us next.

A strong female lead, a pleasure to read

Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2019

Verified Purchase

This is another great historical WWI-era romance from Pamela Hart, following The Soldier's Wife and The War Bride (both excellent reads), although the story is totally independent. I like that the heroine is strong and feisty in a role which was traditionally seen as a man's (war journalist) and in a setting which is fraught with the tensions of being in the middle of an active war arena. The plot is excellent and as always, Pamela's detailed research brings the era to life. I would have liked the ending to be drawn out a bit more (but then I always want a good book to go a bit longer!).
