The Love That I Have - James Moloney

This book is the first I have read by this Australian author, who usually writes childrens novels.   Although this one is aimed at adults, it felt like a young adults novel.  It centers around  Margot Baumann, who leaves school to take up her sisters job in the mailroom at a prison in the second world war.  As she collects the letters and reads some of them she realizes that the prisoners are real people with dreams and feelings of love, and one in particular touches her and she seeks out his letters as they are posted.

It was certainly a book written from an original perspective, and Margots story was interesting but I felt at times that it was a little unbelievable.  That she was so naive and unaware of what was going on around her got a little annoying to me.  3/5
