Jojo Moyes wrote The Last Letter From Your Lover. The year is 1960 and Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital after being in a coma. She was in a car accident. She had surgery on her arm and a head injury that gave her amnesia. Her husband, Laurence, visits her and she has no idea who he is. This unfamiliar man acts stiffly around her. Some friends visit her in the hospital but she doesn't remember them either. Eventually she goes home and slowly some memories come back. She searches through her belongings feeling something is not quite right. Eventually she finds a love letter written to her that asks her to leave her husband. Now things make more sense but she can't remember who wrote her the letter. The second half of the book takes place in 2003 when someone finds these love letters and decides to investigate and find the people involved. Frankly I thought the story from 1960 was more interesting and better written than the later story but I still enjoyed this book.
