Why read it?
1 author picked An Invisible Friendship as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Having always loved Joyce Grenfell and her wonderful monologues and songs, I could hear her voice throughout this book.
It is entirely composed of letters between her and Katherine Moore, which grabbed me very forcefully. It follows the two women, their work, and opinions, through several years. They disagree quite often, talking about personal topics with great freedom.
I have always been a passionate devotee of letters – have written many thousands in my lifetime and have filing cabinets full of ones I have received. Any book comprised of letters gets my approval. I bought five copies of this one…
From Rebecca's list on books about women, their letters, and World War II.
