My dearest Mr Snippet…

World War II has just begun, and newly-married John, a young cadet army officer from London, has been forced to leave behind his beloved wife Rita. As each of them desperately try to hold onto their joint hopes and dreams, will fate grant them the future they dream of, or will the unpredictabilities of a relentless war conspire against them?

Through their passionate, witty and heartfelt letters, personal diary entries and family photographs, Dear Mr Snippet chronicles John and Rita’s parallel yet contrasting lives, lived through the tensions and brutalities of World War II, Dunkirk and the Battle of Normandy.

Collated by their granddaughter, Roseanna Rolph, Dear Mr Snippet is a truly compelling and unique historical memoir that transports readers back to another time, whilst shedding light on the struggles faced by military families to this day.
