Letter from New York

After the success of her classic 84,Charing Cross Road, Helene Hanff was asked by BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour to write about her life in New York. Over the next six years, she captivated audiences with her monthly broadcasts. Written in her trademark whimsical and upbeat style, Helene Hanff transports us to the heart of Manhattan in the 1980s, describing her favourite places, people and pets with gentle humour and introducing readers to the ups and downs of life in a high-rise building in New York City. Published in a gorgeous hardback edition, this is a charming, heartwarming love letter to Helene Hanff's adored New York City, introduced by her cousin Jean Hanff Korelitz, a New York Times best-selling novelist in her own right.
