About this audiobook
She came to prove the letters were real. She didn't expect to need the same proof herself.
Forty-seven letters, written in graphite and blue ink, stacked in a cedar box that stayed locked for nearly eighty years. Forensic linguist Imogen Strand arrives in Harwick Harbor, Maine, expecting a routine authentication: weigh the evidence, let the facts speak, go home.
But the letters resist her professional distance. They are too specific. Too alive. Too particular in the way that only genuine love tends to be.
A young sailor wrote them to the woman he loved, across three years of the North Atlantic war. Maritime historian Owen Greer hired Imogen to confirm they were genuine. Neither of them expected her to follow the correspondence past the war's end - into the particular silence of a September 1945 that arrived one month too late.
