From 70-year-old debut author Anne Youngson, a novel about a farmer''s wife and a museum curator seeking second chances, hailed by NPR as "the charmer of the summer."
In Denmark, Professor Anders Larsen, an urbane man of facts, has lost his wife and his hopes for the future. On an isolated English farm, Tina Hopgood is trapped in a life she doesnΓÇÖt remember choosing. Both believe their love stories are over.

Brought together by a shared fascination with the Tollund Man, subject of Seamus HeaneyΓÇÖs famous poem, they begin writing letters to one another. And from their vastly different worlds, they find they have more in common than they could have imagined. As they open up to one another about their lives, an unexpected friendship blooms. But then TinaΓÇÖs letters stop coming, and Anders is thrown into despair. How far are they willing to go to write a new story for themselves?
