About This Item
Australia: Allen & Unwin, 1998. "Between 1941 and 1945 Wynne Brooks waited for her young solider husband Mickey to return to her. In all the time he was away she wrote to him, first daily, then weekly, never knowing his whereabouts. in 1945, at the end of the war, her letters were returned, their messages of comfort and love unread, bearing the War Office stamp `No Trace'. Wynne's letters, discovered by her niece Jenny Davis in 1988, offer a valuable glimpse into the hearts and minds of the women waiting at home, facing each day without news, and dreading - but also hoping for - the knock on the door from the telegraph boy. Dear heart is an exquiste, true-life account of an exceptional love that knows no boundaries of time and place." CONDITION Black laminated bds are unworn, 143 pages are nice and crisp with half tone photos and illus. DJ has the tiniest tear top front cnr o/w unworn.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
