The Saturday Play: Five Summers and Johnny Onion

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A cross-Channel love story, by Dave Sheasby.
Anne, now in her later years, recalls a chance meeting with Michel, a young French onion-seller. She remembers how that meeting developed into a friendship and then into a love affair during the course of five summers, from 1956 to 1960, of intense meetings and long winters of letters.
