With Your Words in My Hands - The Letters of Antonietta Petris and Loris Palma

Following Antonietta and Loris's first kiss in the shadows of the Italian Alps barely a year after the end of the Second World War, the couple's courtship was separated by a distance far greater than could ever have been imagined. Throughout their transatlantic separation, the young lovers fervidly wrote each other until they were reunited in Canada in 1949. With Your Words in My Hands tells a story about love and migration as written and read, idealized and imagined, through daily correspondence.
