OK, I wonder who knows where that line is from? (Ask your parents if they're over 40)
We've all been considering the art of letter writing recently. Coincidentally, I am reading a delightful novel called "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". It is a novel told completely in letters, from a series of characters who become known to the reader through their correspondence with each other. Initially the reader knows only Janet and her literary agent, but we are introduced to a broad range of characters, all via correspondence. It is also an insight into the German occupation of the Channel Islands during WWII, which is fascinating in itself. It is set in post-WWII London, 1946. All correspondence, such as arranging a dinner date, is via letter, often several brief notes of just a word or two, sent throughout a day - very similar to how we text message today!
What would be the benefits of corresponding in this way? It seems quaint and charming, and I wonder what the drawbacks are - I can't think of any!
Hope you're all well and enjoying Spring, despite the RAIN.
