A wow book

When I finished reading "The Last Letter from Your Lover" by Jojo Moyes my only thought was...wow.  This book had everything that makes a story great and Moyes does a fabulous job weaving the tale together.  The main character is a woman named Jennifer Stirling.  She is in a terrible car accident and loses her memory.  The story is written in such a way that the reader gets bits and pieces of her life before and after the accident.  After the accident Jennifer tries to piece her former life back together using letters she finds in her house.  The book takes place mostly in 1960 but a portion of it takes place in 2003.  About half way through the book the reader is left wondering what became of Jennifer and her lover.  In 2003 Ellie Haworth, a journalist, discovers the letters and finishes the story for us. Ellie has her own problems and finds that she relates to Jennifer's story in so many ways. 

It was a "wow" book. I would highly recommend reading this book.  It has everything from mystery to romance.  Tragedy and happiness.  A very well written novel and I loved it!
