Joining Tom Jackson to discuss the postcards from their pasts are crime writer SARAH HILARY (Someone Else's Skin,No Other Darkness, Tastes Like Fear, Never Be Broken) and historical biographer CLARE MULLEY (The Woman Who Saved the Children, The Spy Who Loved, The Women Who Flew for Hitler). We discover postcards from a Japanese internment camp, from Egypt during the First World War, and from a Blackpool tram. We hear about letters from Hitler’s bunker, letters in Austrian binbags and the story of Emperor Hirohito’s poster couple. Wish you were here?
