Wanted on Voyage

The first volume of 10 years of love letters written by two young people from 1945 onwards and found after they died. Separated for months on end, their letters were the only way of maintaining a relationship through times of joy and grief. sometimes gossipy, sometimes passionate, sometimes full of practicalities, always intense, they reveal the life of an aspiring couple during and after World War Two, in pre-independence India, Oxford and Sudan. They offer a glimpse of a world now gone and an insight into the preoccupations of that era. Between the lines lie clues to secrets which never emerged during their lifetime. Open the box and discover the flame which, at a distance, kept a difficult relationship alive.
