Genre: Historical Fiction
As the Great War rages, an independent young woman struggles to sustain love—and life—through the power of words. It’s 1917 and America is on the brink of World War I. After Hensley Dench’s father is forced to resign from the New York Times for his anti-war writings, she finds herself expelled from the life she loves and the future she thought she would have. Instead, Hensley is transplanted to New Mexico, where her father has taken a job overseeing a gold mine. Driven by loneliness, Hensley hijacks her father’s correspondence with Charles Reid, a young American medic with whom her father plays chess via post. Hensley secretly begins her own exchange with Charles, but looming tragedy threatens them both, and—when everything turns against them—will their words be enough to beat the odds?
Praise for This Is How I’d Love You
“In This is How I’d Love You, Hazel Woods explores the enduring nature of an improbable love born of words, washed in tragedy, and sustained despite impossible circumstances. With prose as immediate and evocative as a painting, Woods accomplishes the magic of rendering sorrow into hope and fear into courage. It is as idealistic a tale as it is clear-sighted, a brilliant alchemy few novels achieve. Readers, prepare to melt” — Robin Oliveria, author of My Name is Mary Sutter

I've been reading lots of WWI historical fiction lately, but mostly from the POV of the English. This novel with its New Mexico setting sounds intriguing. Thanks for the giveaway. lcbrower40(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI agree totally! So many books about WWI or WWII are from the point of view of the English or French or German (which I love, by the way :) ) so this unique setting is really intriguing!

I love historical fiction especially this era. I also love letter writing even though it's just about a lost form anymore. What a beautiful cover!

I have read a few books set during WWII but none during WWI so that caught my attention. I also like the cover. I miss the days of having penpals.
