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":"Chris Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281331106043,"sku":"9781782115670","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781782115670_f57a9131-fa7c-4bdd-8805-0b7fdf02dd97.jpg?v=1772486482","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/my-dear-bessie-9781782115670","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
