I've always adored this movie so I decided to listen to the short audio. It was such a delight!

A book that was originally published in 1970 about a twenty year letter correspondence (1949-1969) that turned into a sweet friendship.

Helene Hanff lives in New York City and is a writer and lover of old, out of print books. She contacts Marks & Co. an antique bookshop in London about a book she is looking for. The head buyer, Frank Doel responds and sends her the book. They begin to correspond and Helene orders more books and they also begin to talk about their lives. As the years go by Frank's wife also writes to Helene as well as some other staff members from Marks & Co. There are some sweet and cheeky exchanges.

A treasure of a story when long ago letter writing existed and two perfect strangers bonded and formed a beautiful friendship 💌
