Publisher's Synopsis
On her seventieth birthday, Elspeth announces that she is taking time off to travel by herself to Spain, Italy, England and Ireland, all places which have a special significance to her.
What she doesn't tell them is that she has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
During her travels she writes a letter to each one of her family and friends in which she opens her heart and describes how they have influenced her life.
All Elspeth's letters are penned against the backdrop of the social and political changes that occurred during a half century of living on the island of Mallorca, and her initial struggle to adapt to a foreign culture after her marriage to a Mallorcan.
These are Elspeth's last days, and these are the unsent letters she must now send.
