Description
Eastbourne as you have never seen it, and would never wish to. Henry Wagstaff lives in the flat above his first-floor neighbours, who meet every Friday afternoon to play Scrabble. Their lives appear content, but this is a crucial period for the nation between June 24th, 2016, and March 29th, 2019. However, their shared existence is mirrored by a world of dystopia, under foreign and religious domination. A past overseas work experience returns to haunt Henry, and the time sequence shifts to Ramadan 1437 and Rajab 1440. Despite these differences, the threesome continues to play Scrabble once a week. This is the story of their parallel lives. In Letter Boxes Are Red, the ordinary and the extraordinary coexist, revealing a complex world that challenges our perceptions of reality.
