About this listen
A heartwarming tale of love, family and acceptance, The Love Note is a simply gorgeous listen...
In their townhouse in Richmond, Blue and her family are as happy and as close as can be - well, on the surface at least.
But with the arrival of a young, destitute woman hoping to escape her abusive husband, they must finally confront the rifts that keep them apart. When they welcome Delphine into their home - and their hearts - they think it's for her benefit only. But what they don't realise is that she will bring them together in ways they never thought possible.

'There were so many things that captivated me - her always wonderful writing, the gorgeous 1920s world of Richmond she evoked so beautifully and the characters who jumped right off the page and were such a complete pleasure to spend time with'
Jenny Ashcroft
'I loved the evocative atmosphere of the 20s, the lovely characters and gorgeous descriptions of nature/turning of the seasons'
Lucinda Riley
'Tracy's meticulous research and lavish prose provide the reader with the complete experience. From the intriguing premise, I was caught up in the lives of these three women and invested in their stories. Tracy's depiction of life in Richmond in the twenties was spot on and added depth to this glorious novel'

The story is full of interesting and varied characters that held my attention.
I loved the detailed descriptions of places I have visited in and around Richmond too.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book by this talented author.

Blue and her family are based in Richmond. This was a book of two halves for me although well written the first half was fine but the second half pulled me in. The first half you are getting to know the characters and there are a lot of them but it focussed predominantly on the main character Ishbel (Aka Blue). Her 21st Birthday is looming and her father wants her to have a suitor. He announces at her party that whoever wants to win her heart must do so by letter and leave no clues as to who they are. It all seems rather lighthearted until one day they spot a woman looking rather out of sorts. After a fright where she falls in the river they soon learn her name is Delphine. She is running from an abusive husband and the family gather round to protect her. They are I would say quite wealthy but Delphine is from a lower class and knows what it is like to struggle. The saddest thing is Delphine struggled to find her voice due to her mistreatment.
What we learn is as well as their protective manner within the family there are secrets behind the facade. One person in particular has a shocking one. There are the usual misunderstandings that cause a threat to the marriage of the secret keeper.
Some secrets may never be forgiven and as Blue decides to meet one of her prospective suitors will the notes be the way to her heart? Is Delphine safe? What will the outcome be for the secret keeper?
I loved the way the author described the countryside and you really get the feel of the ambiance she was creating. I also love the beautiful book cover.
