Is Wicked Little Letters a true story? We delve into what really happened when a series of poison pen letters shocked a sleepy 1920s seaside town, and whether Rose Gooding was a real person who sent them.
After enjoying a run last year in cinemas, Wicked Little Letters has arrived on Netflix. With a stellar cast headed up by the inimitable Olivia Colman and the excellent Jessie Buckley, the period romp tells the story of neighbours Edith Swan and Rose Gooding, living in the seaside town of Littlehampton in the 1920s. Buckley stars as Irish immigrant, Rose Gooding, who becomes an unlikely best friend to her ultra conservative neighbour (Colman).
