Literary synopsis
Kathe Burkhart's great-aunt Grace's love letters between 1927–29 to another woman form the basis of the novel Between the Lines. Two young women live through these missives a romantic friendship. These letters are full of eagerness and a love that dares not say its name. The expression of their tenderness for each other goes as far as the time and place allow them: the South at the turn of the 1930s, where the remembrance of the Civil War remains alive, and the effects of the crisis are hard to feel.
