Send us a textEver wonder if passionate love can withstand decades of separation? "The Last Letter from Your Lover" takes us on a journey through time where handwritten correspondence becomes the bridge between star-crossed lovers.In 1960s London, Jennifer Stirling wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of her life or wealthy husband. When she discovers hidden love letters signed only with the letter "B," she unravels a past filled with forbidden passion and missed opportunities. These letters reveal plans to leave her husband—plans derailed by a tragic accident. Fast forward to present day, where journalist Ellie Haworth stumbles upon these same letters while researching in newspaper archives. As she becomes captivated by this mysterious romance, Ellie's own complicated love life begins to mirror Jennifer's in unexpected ways.The novel and film adaptation take surprisingly different approaches to this dual-timeline romance. While Jojo Moyes' book unfolds chronologically with rich detail about Jennifer's recovery and detective work, the 2021 film starring Shailene Woodley and Felicity Jones interweaves the timelines from the beginning. The book delves deeper into the societal constraints of being a woman in the 1960s, illustrating why Jennifer remained trapped in her marriage, while adding fascinating subplots completely absent from the film—including corporate scandal and deliberate deception that kept the lovers apart.Both versions culminate in the poignant possibility of reunion after forty years apart, proving that true connection transcends time. But which telling resonates more deeply? Listen as I break down the significant changes between page and screen, examine how each medium portrays these parallel love stories, and determine whether this is a rare case where the adaptation stands alongside its source material or another example of how books capture emotional complexity that films simply cannot match.All episodes of the podcast can be found on our website: https://booksvsmovies.buzzsprout.com/shareConnect with me: Instagram | Threads | Bookshop | Goodreads | Blog
