The Longest Night

This is a lovely and atmospheric romance and I'm so glad I read it.

I've had the experience of meeting long-time long-distance friends, and this story captured the hopeful awkwardness of that situation very well. It's also very evocative of the time and place and I liked all the historical details, such as how Richard and Tobias first started writing to each other.

Mainly, though, the cozy cottage really feels like a safe haven for Richard and Tobias, and I loved seeing them find peace together there. It's a very good holiday read.
