Dear Henry, Love Edith

By: Becca Kinzer

Narrated by: Cillian Crowe

He thinks she’s an elderly widow. She’s convinced he’s a grumpy old man. Neither could be further from the truth.

After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that?

Henry Hobbes isn’t exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he’d do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes―short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives.

By the time Henry realizes his mistake―that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town―their hearts are so intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry’s roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her.

Reminiscent of the beloved classic You’ve Got Mail comes a delightful new romantic comedy about mistaken identities, second chances, and finding love in unexpected places.

great story line

It's a fun light hearted book with a cute story line to it. Very enjoyable clean listening.

good read

I loved all the town characters, and their quirks that led to all the ridiculous situations. It was a bit unbelievable, but I laughed out loud, which makes it a fun book. I was a bit annoyed by one of the main characters, at times, but it was a good clean read.

Sweet, funny, lighthearted

This was an easy & fun listen! I'm quickly becoming a fan of Becca Kinzer. The storyline at times was a Lil unbelievable and the narrator was slightly annoying at times. I would have loved a female voice. All in all she writes about characters & topics we can all relate too..while making us laugh in the process!

Laughed out loud!

I laughed out loud more times than I could count listening to this book. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Love!

Good and wholesome book! Clean and funny! Super sweet little love story! Would highly recommend!
