About this book
Long before online dating there was the telegraph, and Ella Cheever Thayer saw its romantic possibilities clearly. Nathalie Rogers works the wire in a small town, tapping out messages in Morse code, when she strikes up a flirtation with an operator she knows only as "C" at a distant office. Their courtship unfolds entirely in dots and dashes, full of teasing, misunderstanding, and the odd intimacy of two people who have never met face to face. When they finally do meet, the story turns on questions of identity and trust that feel strikingly modern. Written by a former telegrapher, it captures the culture of the wire with real affection and wit. This early technology romance is free to read as a PDF and EPUB.
