麻豆社

Clare has recently moved to Lyme Regis with her young son as her marriage has fallen apart. Isolated and lonely, she finds a moment of solace every morning on a seaside bench with a coffee, where she can watch the waves. One morning after forgetting her empty cup on the bench she finds a note admonishing her for doing so. She scribbles an angry reply, and thus enters into a stream of written correspondence with its sender, Daniel, who, over the weeks, reveals himself to be just as vulnerable as she is.

His letters form the highlight of her day until a difficult visit from her ex and an anonymous Valentine's package on her bench threaten to derail her fragile routine, and she has to dig deep to find the best way forward.

A story about courage and new beginnings.
