祖母艾琳来自伦敦西汉普斯特,在丈夫尼克被征入伍回到加拿大后,这位26岁的新婚妻子就写信给他。
The couple met at a dance in London in 1943 while Mr Wiebe was on leave, and had known each other for three days when he proposed. After marrying, the couple spent six months apart as Irene, and hundreds of 'war wives' like her, waited to sail across the Atlantic.
1943年,这对夫妻在伦敦的一次舞会上相识,当时尼克在休假。三天后他就向她求婚了。结婚后,他们在一起度过了六个月的时间就分开了,艾琳和数百上千个“战争妻子”一样,等着跨过大西洋与自己的心上人会合。
Now, 67 years later to the day, bank teller Carly, who has left her own fiance behind in Canada, opens Irene's letters a week at a time and follows them as precisely as she can.
67年之后,身为银行出纳的卡莉丢下自己在加拿大的未婚夫,每周都打开七封情书,跟随这些情书游历伦敦,尽量精确地重现信中内容。
So far, she has visited her grandmother's birthplace in West Hampstead, recreated a day out to Oxford and watched a film at Marble Arch cinema. Miss Butler also plans to see the place where her grandmother, who passed away in 1998, worked dismantling enemy aeroplanes.
到目前为止,她已经拜访过祖母的出生地西汉普斯特,利用一天的时间游牛津大学,还在Marble Arch电影院看了部电影。卡莉还打算去祖母工作的地方看看,二战期间艾琳做的是拆除敌机的工作。1998年祖母艾琳过世。
