Highly Recommended - I thoroughly enjoyed this story!
First of all, I love Barbara Taylor Bradford and have thoroughly enjoyed every book she has ever written and this one is no exception. It is an easy read and I really liked the characters and their relationships. Once I started reading "Letter From A Stranger" I just wanted continue reading to the end of the book and put every-thing I was supposed to do as a "domestic engineer" on "hold" - which is exactly what I did! I hope everyone who reads this book enjoys it as much as I did. Happy Reading!!!

Highly Recommended
This is one of the best books I have ever read by any author. A beautiful, touching tale of ficton, but with a non-fiction base. Can't say enough about how much I truly enjoyed reading "Letter From a Stranger".

A little bit of romance
A letter postmarked from Istanbul arrives at Justine Nolans mothers’ house in Connecticut. Knowing that it will be months before her mom, Deborah, returns, Justine opens the letter. Little did she know how the letter will change her life.

The letter is written by Justine’s grandmother’s best friend asking for an end to the estrangement between Deborah and Justine’s grandmother, Gabrielle. The letter begs Deborah to let Gabrielle meet her grandkids before it is too late. Justine shares the letter with her fraternal twin, Richard, and it is decided that Justine should travel to Istanbul and find her long lost grandmother.
Letter from a Stranger was different than any other Barbara Taylor Bradford book I had read. Although it still has a female main character. The descriptions of Istanbul were amazing. I could truly see the scenes as they were told in the story. I could see myself walking the streets of Istanbul during World War II.
The little bit of romance in the book made it impossible for me to put down. This is definitely a great read and I would easily recommend it to any fellow book lover. -

I have read several books by Ms. Bradford, "A Woman of Subs
I have read several books by Ms. Bradford, "A Woman of Substance" being her best. This latest endeavor, however, falls short. The premise of the book is one that could have been written better with a few more twists to the story line and the characters could have been less "plastic". She missed the mark!!! The characters were too carefully portrayed, the dialog seemed forced and in general didn't flow! Of late there have been several stories written about the Holocaust that have been heart wrenching, yet "Letter From A Stranger" does not appear to be one of them. I finished the book mainly because I dislike not doing so, but disappointing to say the least.

Every book that Barbara Taylor Bradford writes is outstanding. She takes you into the book and makes you feel that you are part of it. I've read Woman of Substance several times and every book after that. Enjoyed this book!!!

A little kick
The last 3 chapters were the best part of the book. The rest drug and everyone was too perfect. Are there actually people that act the way these guys did? A little fake but I love the WWII twist

Disappointing and boring. The formal language was a total turn-off. Couldn't wait for it to end.
