Résumé : Set in the late 19th century, Wired Love is a charmingly modern precursor to the digital rom-com that follows Nattie Rogers, a young telegrapher who finds solace from her lonely job through a "wired" flirtation with a mysterious operator known only as "C." Communicating solely through Morse code, the two develop a deep intellectual and emotional intimacy that bypasses Victorian social rigidities, effectively mirroring the dynamics of modern online dating. The plot centers on the comedic and anxious tension that arises when they decide to bridge the gap between their electronic personas and their physical selves, navigating a series of mishaps and mistaken identities before finally confirming that their "dots and dashes" connection holds up in the real world.
Biographie : She was the daughter of apothecary George Augusta Thayer (Octr 19, 1824 - December 13, 1863) and Rachel Ella Cheever Thayer (Octr 18, 1823 - May 15, 1907). One sister, Mary Georgie Thayer (Octr 9, 1869 - March 30, 1912), was a school teacher. Thayer eventually became a telegraph operator at the Brunswick Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, who used her experience on the telegraph as the basis for her book Wired Love, A Romance of Dots and Dashes, which became a bestseller for 10 years.
