This book is a real-life collection of letters exchanged during World War II between Chris Barker, a soldier stationed abroad, and Bessie Moore, a Morse code operator in London. What begins as a casual letter turns into a deep and moving romance through their heartfelt correspondence. The letters capture their growing love, personal struggles, and the emotional intensity of wartime separation. Edited by Simon Garfield, the book is a touching tribute to the power of love and the written word.
