Description

Stephanie Stanford, recently widowed, must tell her family the truth. But the past is complicated and difficult to untangle. Meanwhile, Michael’s memories are squashed into a shoebox (along with Queen Mathilda’s Dickin Medal for Bravery – for pigeons) ready for his move to hospital. Michael has never been good at putting things into words; he’s more comfortable with the click of Morse code. But Anna, a young healthcare assistant, has the patience – and rare tenderness – to eke out his story. And so he begins.
