The Wrong Envelope by Liz Treacher
This is the summer of post war England in 1920. Bernard Cavalier is an artist and has been
sent to the countryside in order to get with the job of paining in preparation for a forthcoming
exhibition. He is too distracted at home hence the change of scenery. On the journey there
exhibition. He is too distracted at home hence the change of scenery. On the journey there
he upsets a young woman by referring to the mole on her neck, a neck and mole which he
has been admiring for the duration of the journey. the young woman Evie is horrified to find
that despite being put off the train for his rudeness, Bernard has not only arrived in her
village but is on her post round. bernard has several friends who frequently write to him
and with three deliveries a day the chances of Evie bumping in to him are quite high. It’s
lovely to read of an era where letters were one of the main forms of communication.
Several letters are included in the text. Maybe one day we will return to pen and paper
as a more lasting treasured way of corresponding.I really enjoyed this. Characters that
came to life and a story you just wanted to end happily A wonderful traditional love
story set in both Devon and London.

Summer 1920. Two worlds are about to collide.Evie Brunton loves her job. Twice a day, she spins along the narrow lanes of Devon on her bicycle, delivering letters from a heavy post bag. When the flamboyant London artist, Bernard Cavalier, drops like a meteor into her sleepy village, everything changes. Bernard is supposed to be painting for an important exhibition, but the countryside has its own charms, in particular his young post lady…Light and witty, and full of twists and turns, The Wrong Envelope is a charming romantic comedy. It captures the spirit of another age – when letters could change lives.
