I have been thinking of you. I shall think of you until I post this, and until you get it. Can you feel, as you read these words, that I am thinking of you now; aglow, alive, alert at the thought that you are in the same world, and by some strange chance loving me. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn September 1943, Chris Barker was serving as a signalman in North Africa when he decided to brighten the long days of war by writing to old friends. One of these was Bessie Moore, a former work colleague. The unexpected warmth of Bessie''s reply changed their lives forever. Crossing continents and years, their funny, affectionate and intensely personal letters are a remarkable portrait of a love played out against the backdrop of the Second World War. Above all, their story is a stirring example of the power of letters to transform ordinary lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555281478014,"sku":"NW9781782115670","price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781782115670.jpg?v=1783117276","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/my-dear-bessie-a-love-story-in-letters","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
