LETTERS FROM HOME

Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B41949

English Summary/英文概要： Chicago, 1944. Liz Stephens has little interest in attending a USO club dance with her friends Betty and Julia. She doesn’t need a flirtation with a lonely serviceman when she’s set to marry her childhood sweetheart. Yet something happens the moment Liz glimpses Morgan McClain. They share only a brief exchange—cut short by the soldier’s evident interest in Betty—but Liz can’t forget him. Thus, when Betty asks her to ghostwrite a letter to Morgan, stationed overseas, Liz reluctantly agrees.

Thousands of miles away, Morgan struggles to adjust to the brutality of war. His letters from “Betty” are a comfort, their soul-baring correspondence a revelation to them both. While Liz is torn by her feelings for a man who doesn’t know her true identity, Betty and Julia each become immersed in their own romantic entanglements. And as the war draws to a close, all three will face heart-wrenching choices, painful losses, and the bittersweet joy of new beginnings.

Beautifully rendered and deeply moving, Letters from Home is a story of hope and connection, of sacrifices made in love and war—and the chance encounters that change us forever.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1944，芝加哥。Liz Stephens对与她的朋友 Betty和Julia一起参加USO俱乐部的舞会产生了兴趣。她并不需要与孤独的军人调情，因为她已经下定决心要嫁给她青梅竹马的恋人。然而，就在 Liz遇见Morgan McClain后，一切都变了。他们只做了很简单的交谈，很明显他对Betty更加感兴趣，但是 Liz无论如何也忘不了他。当Betty让她帮忙代写一封信给远驻海外的Morgan时，Liz只好勉强地同意。

Morgan远在千里之外正参与一场残酷的战争。当他读到“Betty”写给他的信时，感到十分安慰，就好像两个人的心灵是相通的。尽管 Liz的内心挣扎着想念那个男人，但是他却根本不知道她的存在，Betty 和 Julia渐渐被卷入了这场浪漫的纠缠之中。而随着战争渐渐接近尾声，三个人都将面临一次令人痛心的抉择，令人痛苦的损伤，以及新开端苦乐参半的喜悦。(兼职翻译-PXD)
