When Charity finds letters, journals and sketches in the roof of her great-aunt's house, she uncovers a rich family history that she must piece together from fragments. Great-aunt Birdie's letters to her lover are a compelling and revealing account of life for many women in the 1930s. Her experiences as an artist in the first decades of the century, and her earlier relationship with a young man who goes to war, also provide powerful insights into a woman who, as Charity begins to suspect, wanted more than her era would allow.
