Cally Trench and Lorraine Pepper wrote each other letters from September 2009, and continued until the end of Remarkable and Curious Conversations. The letters discussed Goethe, Howard Jacobson, science and art, Darwin, cheesecake, beauty, romanticism, flame-patterned curtains, and sledging. Cally and Lorraine live about a mile apart, teach part-time for the same college, and meet regularly for lunch, but the letters allowed different things to be discussed in different ways. |
