Kelly’s Review
The Note is an extremely well-written novel that deals with forgiveness, compassion and redemption. It opens with a plane crash that kills everyone on board. A newspaper columnist by the name of Peyton Macgruder is given a note that has washed up on shore that is presumably from one of the passengers that was on the plane. The note simply reads “T – I love you. All is forgiven. – Dad” Peyton uses her newspaper column to track down the rightful recipient of this note.
This novel takes us through Peyton’s professional and personal quest to find the person for whom the note was intended. The story takes some twists and turns that are unexpected and keeps the reading interesting. We also learn more about the character of Peyton and what motivates and also hinders her. Her character development in this novel is especially moving.
This was a great read. It is a novel that brings to light many lessons we could all learn from each day. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Recommended reading!!
