Welcome to my Review of I Wanted To Tell You by Anna Mansell!
What They Say:
‘Sometimes I think that if I’d found a way to talk, we’d be together now…’
When Helen finds a bundle of unsent love letters, tied with a red ribbon, and signed only ‘the love you wished I could be’, she wonders who they could belong to.
The same day, however, her husband Alexannounces he’s leaving. She’d believed their love would last a lifetime, but now he’s gone and she hadn’t even realised there was anything wrong.
Desperate to understand, Helen doesn’t know where to look for answers. But the letters keep drawing her back. As she reads the words of loneliness, loss and regret, something in them helps her start to make sense of it all… Even as she realises someone has been keeping heart-breaking secrets.
But who do the letters belong to? Can the sender ever be reunited with the one they love, or is it too late? And when Helen finds out the truth about Alex, can she find it in her heart to forgive him, or will he never be the love she wished he could be?
What I Say:
Anna Mansell is a rare find. Her books are always super emotional and incredibly relatable. Her characters come to life and spring off the page to engage you from the first page and feel like people you really know. That's a gift!
I Wanted To Tell You is breathtakingly beautiful. The premise is intriguing and fascinating and the letters brought a whole other dimension to the story. It's such a unique way of having a story unfold and I read this in 2 sittings. Bravo, Anna! 10/10
