Stuck In A Book : We should ‘treasure something as special as Kisses on a Postcard. I predict a classic, and one which can be enjoyed with joyfulness, thankfully, and not solely sympathy’.

Book Snob : ‘delightful and surprisingly moving … Kisses on a Postcard is a real treasure; it’s told with love and fondness and humour … It really is a wonderful book that shows the tenacity and generosity of the human spirit, and I highly recommend it.

Fleur Fisher Reads: ‘So many wonderful stories so wonderfully told. I wish I could write about them all. So many emotions, so many moments to move you. A wonderful portrait of an extrordinary time in a place that is today the same is so many ways and yet so very different too. Magic indeed.’

Banter Basement: ‘Perhaps the best sign of how enchanting this book was to me, I didn’t want it to end.’
