Dear Mr Bigelow
eAudiobook
Dear Mr Bigelow is an enchanting collection of weekly letters written between 1949 and 1961 from an unmarried woman working at the Public Baths in Bournemouth to a wealthy American widower in New York. Frances Woodsford and Paul Bigelow never met yet their epistolary friendship was her lifeline. We follow Frances’s trials with her ghastly boss Mr Bond; the hilarious weekly Civil Defence Classes as the Cold War advances; her attempts to shake off an unwanted suitor and life at home with her mother and her charming ne’er-do-well brother. Sparked with comic genius the letters provide a unique insight into post-war England and the growth of an extraordinary friendship.
