I Wanted to Tell you - blog tour



BLOG TOUR

I Wanted To Tell You by Anna Mansell


‘Sometimes I think that if I’d found a way to talk, we’d be together now…’

When Helen finds a bundle of unsent love letters, tied with a red ribbon, and signed only ‘the love you wished I could be’, she wonders who they could belong to.

The same day, however, her husband Alex announces he’s leaving. She’d believed their love would last a lifetime, but now he’s gone and she hadn’t even realised there was anything wrong.

Desperate to understand, Helen doesn’t know where to look for answers. But the letters keep drawing her back. As she reads the words of loneliness, loss and regret, something in them helps her start to make sense of it all… Even as she realises someone has been keeping heart-breaking secrets.

But who do the letters belong to? Can the sender ever be reunited with the one they love, or is it too late? And when Helen finds out the truth about Alex, can she find it in her heart to forgive him, or will he never be the love she wished he could be?

An emotional, unmissable read, exploring the devastation of loss, the power of love to heal, and the truths that bind us all together. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Diane Chamberlain and Daniela Sacerdoti.


About the author

Anna had a brush with 'fame' as a magician’s assistant back in 1977. She later decided that being sawn in half by her magical performing father, at barely 6 months old, was too submissive a role. She vowed to channel the trauma in to something much more pro-actively creative. Having failed at acting, singing and professional murder mystery parties (she was ALWAYs the one to die!), she fell to something much more solitary: writing. How To Mend a Broken Heart was her first novel and her life was not on the line in order to write that or her second: The Lost Wife. Anna lives on a dairy farm in Cornwall with her two children, her husband, and her ex-racing greyhound, Olive Dog.

MY REVIEW

I’ve not read anything by this author before but that’ll certainly change as this was a fabulous read. 

Helen is a bus driver, married to Alex with a son, Tom. She’s happily married until Alex changes everything by moving out. When Helen finds some unaddressed letters on the bus she decides to read them. Reading the letters changes her views on a lot of things. 

I loved the secondary characters in the story. It adds so much to the storyline. 

I absolutely love these characters. Well done to the author on portraying such well written relatable characters. If your looking for a well written beautiful read then I highly recommend this story. 
I’m so looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.
