Fugitive Letters

When Charity finds letters journals and sketches in the roof of her great-aunts house she uncovers a rich family history that she must piece together from fragments. Great-aunt Birdies 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.
