This is an auction for POSTED LOVE: NEW ZEALAND LOVE LETTERS by Sophie Jerram.

“A beautiful book, an inspiring and touching glimpse of love seen through 170 years of love letter writing in New Zealand. The image of New Zealanders as pioneering, industrious and unromantic is quietly put to rest forever as you read this remarkable collection of love letters. Share the most private and intimate thoughts of men and women throughout the nation and over many past years. If you love someone...buy this book for them! It could be your own story of love.”

“Have you ever received a love letter? Do you have them hidden in a private place away from prying eyes? Do you think that one day someone will stumble upon them and want to share them with others? This is what the author of this book has done. This book is a book of love letters written by relatives and others in New Zealand. The author has used some written by her family to loved ones and has also sourced other letters from various people including that of Katherine Mansfield. I liked reading the letters although they are intensely private there were so many romantic people in New Zealand. The book is almost like a trip into the past where some of the letters are proper and polite well before the days of the Internet. I would recommend this lovely book of beautiful love letters to the most romantic of people but there is something for everyone. A definite good read.”
