All the Notes I Never Said
Sage Hayes
Each book in this series features a different couple and a complete happily ever after.
They fell in love through letters. They just didn't know they were falling for each other.
Keiko Tanaka has been writing to a stranger through the wooden letter box in Foxglove House's archive room for four months. She trusts text more than touch — text can be annotated, revised, set aside. She has said things in those letters she would never say to a face. Marian O'Rourke has been writing to an unknown scholar for just as long. She will sing anything, mean every word, and be gone before you see what it cost her. The letters are different. She doesn't know who's reading them.
They are each other's secret correspondent. Neither knows.
When Keiko and Marian arrive at Foxglove House to restore Greta Lyle's unfinished song cycle, they clash almost immediately — creative rivalry sharpened by two women who are each used to being the most competent person in the room. The intimacy has already happened. They have told each other the true things. They just don't know they've told each other.
When the letters are matched and the secret is exposed, what remains is harder: whether two women who found each other in text can survive being that known in person. Keiko's fellowship ends in March. Marian's body has been a complicated thing to inhabit for decades.
Can you choose to become real to someone who already knows you?
