I heal with it, as you did.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis epistolary collection finds Bogarde at his most honest and touching, engaging in conversation with a woman he has never met and whose only interest in him comes from the simple fact that he now happens to live in a house that she once owned. These letters provide an insight into the wit and intelligence of a great man without the stifling constraints of other literary forms. It presents us with a platform and a relationship that allows Bogarde to freely reminisce, discuss politics, gossip about those around him and provide razor-sharp cameo portraits of the famous. The letters were all composed before Bogarde saw himself as an author and stand as a testament to his literary talent, his domestic sensibilities, as well as his unquestionable compassion in sharing so much with a complete stranger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1989, \u003ci\u003e A Particular Friendship \u003c\/i\u003efollows Bogarde's first four memoirs.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833507098829,"sku":"9781448208180","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_f92f372c-e42f-4c11-85c7-5e8a90b41d32.jpg?v=1790887468","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/a-particular-friendship","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
