So beautiful to hear WW2 letters read and brought to life. "Above all, I must be with you. I must warm you, surround you, love you and be kind to you." So raw and beautiful.

This brought tears to my eyes. People just don't speak, let alone write like this anymore. Ben's voice was perfect for this letter.

In that moment, he becomes Chris. That is the making of a brilliant actor.

When a great actor reads, you need to listen and watch it at the same time😍😍 and there's such sweetness in the letter!

It's such a beautiful letter. I was teary-eyed because it was so well spoken and just simple. It's a lovely story between to lovers one at war coming home and at home awaiting for her love. Really makes you think about what life has to offer. And Ben does a magnificent job at reading it.

What a great letter. Makes me melt listening to it. Do men really think and feel this way about the one whom they truly love?

In 2020, how physical letters feel now--even though we can see each other on Zoom. Oh, to hug my loved ones again. I hope we, like this man, can be ourselves with our loved ones again. Love to you all.

Oh, very good reading. I need to ask... I watched the Andrew Scott read video also. These letters they read, unfortunately still do not know English very well, are letters from soldiers in any war, right? Would be a book? If you know tell me, thank you.

@OgunnFerraille 8 жыл бұрын

It all originated from the "letters of note" website (www.lettersofnote.com), and yes, a book was published a few years ago.
