两个老太太写信拌嘴，绵里藏针笑里藏刀为点小事要写好几封信争执不休，但是信末还不忘记 kiss kiss Based on the books and Radio 4 series written by Carole Hayman and Lou Wakefield, Ladies of Letters transfers to the small screen in this new 10-part adaptation. Irene (Lipman) and Vera (Reid) meet at Vera’s daughter’s wedding and begin a correspondence that, beneath a veneer of civility, hides a constant battle of one-upmanship as they regale each other with stories of blissful holidays, delicious recipes and grateful grandchildren. In reality, both are lonely, taken for granted by their families and their correspondence is a lifeline for them: for all the unspoken animosity, they need each other.
