Adapted by James Roose-Evans from Helene Hanf's book, this play is about the love of books and literature. The story spans 20 years from 1949 to 1969 as Helene, a New York writer, corresponds with an antiquarian bookshop manager in London. As books from Britain to Helene and care packages from Helene to the bookshop staff of post-war torn Britain traverse the Atlantic, a close friendship develops between these lovers of literature. A truly touching, hands-across-the-sea, sentimental chronicle.
