A Distant Melody is the first novel in the Wings of Glory series by Sarah Sundin. Allie, a daughter in a wealthy family with impossible standards, will do anything to get her mother’s approval. She has resigned herself to marrying a man she doesn’t love but then meets Lt. Walter at a friend’s wedding. For one blissful week, she sees how life could be and they begin a correspondence that will change their lives. Letters fly between the two of them, but can they sort our the secrets, commitments and expectations that keep them apart?
I LOVED this book. I loved how seamless and logical the struggles and decisions of the characters were. I loved Allie & Lt Walter. I loved that they were two imperfect people who had much to learn and I loved their friendship and romance! It was an expertly woven story and I greatly anticipate the next book in the series!
