A bundle of love letters, discovered by chance in the wall of a barn in the Yorkshire Dales, reveals two lives. Written 100 years ago by Lizzie Sutcliffe, a lodging-house keeper in Blackburn, to Tom Anderson, a farmer in Carleton near Skipton, they tell a classic tale of love, seduction and betrayal.
