One of the most talked about debuts of 2018 and already optioned for a TV adaptation, Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce is a love letter to female friendship, Blitz spirit, the kindness of strangers and the art of letter-writing itself. Helen Cullen’s The Lost Letters of William Woolf is a life-affirming love story set in a dead letter office. They discuss their remarkable debuts and the power and art of letters with Steven Gale.
