Synopsis
When Irene Spencer meets Vera Small at her daughter Lesley’s wedding reception, they embark upon a correspondence that is quite unlike any other in the history of letter-writing. Both Irene and Vera are happily widowed and endowed with errant offspring. They live in a world of church fêtes and amateur dramatics, but love nothing more than dipping their pens in the vitriol pot—while remaining the firmest of pen-pals. Feisty, naughty, and endlessly funny, Ladies of Letters provides a hilarious insight into suburban friendships as they really are!
