What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
After watching Wicked Little Letters on Netflix I checked online to find out if this was a film based on a real life happening.
Olivia Coleman is excellent in the role as Edith Swan, a repressed daughter who resorts to sending nasty letters to her neighbours and blames it on her neighbour Rose Gooding. If you don’t like bad language, don’t watch lol 😜
I discovered it is indeed based on a true story.
What is the true story behind Wicked Little Letters?
Wicked Little Letters is based on the real-life hate mail scandal, also known as the “Littlehampton letters,
set in the1930’s and involved four court cases and three prison sentences over almost three years. Edith Swan and Rose Gooding were neighbors living in Littlehampton.
I had thought the use of such bad language was a modern phenomenon but I was proved wrong.
So that was my last search online and it turned out to be very informative.
It also reminded me how real life trolls on social media can fire abuse at people with whom they disagree but unlike Edith they never get caught.
