Synopsis

J. P. Monninger, author of the international bestseller The Map That Leads to You, the novel Nicholas Sparks called “romantic and unforgettable", tells a poignant love story of the ways the world divides two souls—and the way that love brings them together, in Seven Letters.

Kate Moreton is in Ireland on sabbatical from her teaching position at Dartmouth College when she meets Ozzie Ferriter, a fisherman and a veteran of the American war in Afghanistan. The Ferriter family history dates back centuries on the remote Blasket Islands, and Ozzie – a dual citizen of Ireland and the United States – has retreated to the one place that might offer him peace from a war he cannot seem to leave behind.

Beside the sea, with Ireland’s beauty as a backdrop, the two fall deeply in love and attempt to live on an island of their own making, away from the pressures of the outside world. Ireland writes its own love stories, the legends claim, and the limits of Kate and Ozzie’s love and faith in each other will be tested. When his demons lead Ozzie to become reckless with his life—and Kate’s—she flees for America rather than watch the man she loves self-destruct. But soon a letter arrives informing Kate that her heroic husband has been lost at sea, and Kate must decide whether it is an act of love to follow him or an act of mercy to forget.

Goodreads review by Cititor on May 18, 2020

Am ezitat o vreme inainte sa citesc cartea deoarece Harta care ma duce la tine, scrisa de acelasi autor nu m-a incantat peste masura. Cartea a inceput interesant, atractia dintre Kate si Ozzie este puternica, insa putin pusa in valoare. La fel ca si personajele din Harta care ma duce la tone, acesti......more

Goodreads review by Geo on February 10, 2021

Un roman captivant, ușor de citit, ce te poartă efectiv în Irlanda, Roma sau chiar New Hampshire. Autorul reușește performanța de a reda cu acuratețe nuanțele locurilor, felul de a fi al locuitorilor. Kate Moreton ajunge în Irlanda în cadrul unui proiect de cercetare, fascinată fiind de poveștile ta......more

Goodreads review by Alexandria on March 28, 2019

Not typically the genre I go for but I had the chance to read this and I'm so glad I did. I was totally drawn in by the setting, Ireland's just one of those magical places I always want to read about. The story was romantic and heart wrenching at times. It's one of those stories where you're literal......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on April 30, 2019

And now comes the hard part. Finding the words for a review. I enjoyed this book tremendously, but not in the traditional sense. It was slow - much more a character driven story. The writing was phenomenal. I could see every sight clearly. I could taste the sea air. I could feel the chill in the air......more


Quotes

Praise for The Map That Leads To You:

“Romantic and unforgettable.” —Nicholas Sparks

"Monninger’s debut novel will strike a chord with fans of Nicholas Sparks’ sweeping and sentimental tales." —Booklist

“A gossamer confection, spun sugar at the summer carnival. It’s also an inspiriting estival fling, one that, as Heather says of her relationship with Jack, melts any residual winter ice. —The New York Times Book Review
