Literate & Stylish with Amy from Sixth of April

LS
The premise of Literate & Stylish is simple, and the post is short but sweet- every Thursday I'll be showcasing a lovely lady and her favorite book. She'll share a few pretty photos showing off her personal style, along with her book of choice, and tell us why she loves it. 


from Amy of Sixth of April

The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman

The Lost Wife is the best book I've read in a long time. Hands down. No question. It's not often that you come across a book that sticks with you even weeks after finishing it. Without giving too much away, The Lost Wife is a beautifully written story about two young lovers whose dreams are shattered by the Nazi invasion of WWII.  It is a painful, compelling, romantic, and heartbreaking love story that spans over 60 years and is a sweet reminder that true love never dies. I can't say enough wonderful things about this book and have already recommended it to my mom and good friend, who loved it as well. Go read it and let me know what you think!

  9. The book really sticks with a person even long time after finishing it. I can prove with. Everyday, when I make my bed, I think of Lenka´s mother and how she dyed a pillowcase in a blend of water and coffee to take with her in a concentration camp. There´re more heartbreaking passages in the book. Sadly, hard times create most touching stories if a talented storywriter like Alyson Richman makes them alive for us. The book is also very educational. I wish the story would reach to the Czech students and readers all around the world. Olga from the Czech Republic, P.S. I love the dress and cardigan.
