In a forgotten nook of Cambridge a little shop stands where thousands of sheets of beautiful paper and hundreds of exquisite pens wait for the next person who, with Clara Cohen’s help, will express the love, despair and desire they feel to correspondents alive, estranged or dead. Clara knows better than most the power a letter can have to turn a person’s life around, so when she discovers a cache of wartime love letters, she follows them on the start of on a profound journey of her own.

      And,’ her mother continues breezily, ‘once I had all my favourite recipes memorised, I didn’t really need the book any more now, did I?’
      It’s not about needing, Clara wants to say, it’s about treasuring.

        ‘I’ll bet there’s at least a few hundred copies in this house, if only you could find them in the mess,’ Sophia says, finishing off her scone in another bite.
        Clara shakes her head, not rising to the bait. ‘If there was a single copy I’d have found it. I know every book in the house. It’s not here.’

          There’s so much to miss while whizzing along and she’s always liked to keep an eye out for the little delights of life that most other people neglect: a cluster of fresh blackberries on a bush, a sweetly scented rose, a tiny, fat dormouse disappearing under a hedge, a soft white feather drifting down from the sky – a gift from a watchful angel.
