Last Letters to Loved Ones

In this compelling and heart-rending collection, author Rose Rouse has brought together a selection of moving and emotional last letters to loved ones. There are achingly innocent yet extremely loving letters from twentysomething soldiers who dies in Iraq; there are profoundly affecting letters from those who are fatally ill who need to say goodbye to partners or children; and there are letters from death row which naturally sometimes carry more embittered tone. This deeply moving yet uplifting book is an amazing insight into the complexity of human emotions. It is a celebration of life, love and the triumph of the human spirit.

Rose Rouse is a journalist who has written for publications such as the Face, the Guardian and the Daily Express. She lives in north west London with her 20-year-old son, Marlon. Her previous books include Missing.
