Lucide, étonnée, désespérée parfois, elle a pendant ces années tenu un journal, écrit des textes que lui inspiraient tout ce qu’elle voyait, ce qu’elle vivait, les gens qu’elle rencontrait ou affrontait.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Louise Brealey read a love story in letters, played out against the backdrop of the Second World War.
