“A stranger cast adrift on a foreign shore, lonely and cold.”

Ursula and Janet Widdington are content with their lives in a picturesque fishing village in 1930s Cornwall. When a foreign stranger with no memory is washed ashore, the elderly sisters take him under their wing to nurse him back to health. However, the ongoing presence of this mysterious young man gradually disrupts their peaceful lives and those of the other residents of the close-knit community in which they live. Will the sisters find their lives irrevocably damaged, or can they return to the happiness they once shared? An evocative, heart-warming story of unfulfilled dreams and unrequited love.
