She soon uncovers a steamy romance between the wife of a wealthy businessman (Woodley), and a financial journalist (Turner) assigned to cover her husband.
As she explores the decades-old affair, Ellie stumbles into her own love story with endearing archivist Rory McCallan (Rizwan), who helps her track down more letters.
While it didn’t impress critics upon its release, the romance drama is still highly recommended by viewers. It earned a solid 79% rating from Rotten Tomatoes audiences, while reviewers only awarded it a 55% score.
Sharing their verdict, one person said: “I never lost interest in the plot. The costumes and scenery were gorgeous. And I cried at the end. What more could you want? It’s a love story.”
