In 1983 in a small south Tipperary town two 18-year-old best friends leave school and take a tentative step into their future: Mary to study accountancy in a local college, Cathy to become an au pair in Brittany. For the following year they exchange long gossipy letters. The letters capture a moment in time. They are by turns touching, funny, tender and gutsy, showing two young women sustaining a friendship across the miles with all of the scolding, teasing, sharing of woes and worries, and smothering with concern, and that make up such a friendship. It is the era of Kajagoogoo and Culture Club, Dynasty on the TV, Ronald Reagan visiting Ballyporeen, the recession and the beginnings of the great social debates that were to define the decade in Ireland. Through the course of the year we see the girls starting to grow up and to realise that the world is a more complex, more challenging and more exciting, place than they had imagined.
