Entertaining Eric

Description:

In 1941, 20-year-old Maureen Bolster began writing to her boyfriend Eric Wells, stationed in the Middle East. Filled with warmth and humour, this charming collection of Maureen's letters describes her life working for the war effort back home. Uproarious incidents occur when she encounters lecherous GIs, immoral lodgers and irascible landladies in her work first as a billeting officer; then as a Wren courier, delivering secret documents by trains, boats and planes; and finally as a Wren stoker. All the while, her thoughts are with her sweetheart Eric as he fights for his country thousands of miles away.
