Dear Kate,
I hope this finds you well.
I just loved “Ellis Island”, which I came across by accident at “Casa del Libro”, one of the most popular bookstores in Spain. You are a truly gifted writer and wish you a fruitful and lasting career. I can’t wait to read “City of Hope”!
Respectfully,
Enrique from Seville (Spain).
